The Department for Transport assesses a number of different fuels in terms of a range of environmental impacts including air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. A number of initiatives are underway to encourage cleaner, lower carbon fuels.<\/p>
<\/p>
This Government is investing over £600 million in this Parliament in addition, to a more favorable tax regime towards less polluting vehicles to ensure that almost all cars and vans are zero emission vehicles by 2050.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) has supported a market for low carbon fuels and delivered significant greenhouse gas emissions savings. In 2014/15 these savings were equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the road. We have been working with industry and others on proposals to increase the supply of low carbon fuels in line with our UK carbon budget targets. We plan to consult on proposed changes to the RTFO scheme later this year.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government will continue to promote public transport choices, supporting the market for innovative forms of transport and encourage a move to cleaner and lower carbon vehicles.<\/p>"}

This initial assessment shows a reduction in businesses\u2019 on-going administrative costs in the medium term; these proposals do not mean four tax returns a year.<\/p>
The Government will publish an updated assessment in the Tax Information and Impact Note to be published alongside draft legislation<\/p>

DFID uses a range of factors to determine allocations to countries, including the need of those countries for development assistance, how effective our assistance is likely to be in those countries, and the strategic fit with UK government priorities.<\/p>
The 50% commitment is not only the right thing to do but also the smart thing to do for Britain\u2019s national interest. The commitment ensures that we improve the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world. Poverty is increasingly concentrated in fragile states and regions, and conflict is one of the major challenges to development. Over half of the world\u2019s poor live in fragile states.<\/p>
Our work in fragile states and regions will help to build stability, prevent conflict and support economic growth in the world\u2019s poorest countries and regions. Without stability, our gains on poverty reduction risk being reversed.<\/p>"}
