answer text <p>As set out in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, we want public transport &amp; walking and cycling to be the natural first choice for our daily journeys. This shift has the potential to save significant amounts of carbon, improve air quality, and reduce noise and congestion – improving health and wellbeing for all.</p><p>We are undertaking pilot projects which will explore new ways for how we can use our cars differently and less often. For example, we have provided £92m to fund local authorities in Solent Transport, Nottingham and Derby, West Midlands, and the West of England to become Future Transport Zones and pilot a range of innovative mode shift efforts, such as mobility as a service apps, or paying ‘mobility credits’ to people in return for giving up their cars.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The sharing economy has brought many benefits to the tourism sector and wider economy, as well as creating an additional income stream for homeowners. In rural areas, the growth of the sharing economy has enabled travellers to utilise the flexible accommodation options on offer to explore lesser-known rural destinations and make the most of the leisure opportunities they offer. However, we recognise that the increase in short-term letting has also prompted some concerns including the impact on the housing market and local communities, and a sense that new entrants in the market are not being held to the same health and safety standards as, for example, hotels and B&amp;Bs.</p><p>The Government’s Call for Evidence on the Short-Term Letting of Tourism Accommodation ran from 29 June to 21 September and analysis of the responses is now underway.</p><p>We wanted to hear from a wide range of stakeholders, including local authorities, in order to build a much-needed evidence base on these issues and enable us to develop proportionate policy responses for a future consultation.</p><p>With the Call for Evidence now closed, we will now consider the evidence collected and look to provide updates to the sector over the coming months regarding our next steps.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Co-operatives and mutuals contribute to the UK economy by offering a different form of running a business, with a focus on delivering the services their members and communities need.</p><p>The Government has improved the business environment for co-operatives and mutuals through the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 which cut through the legal complexity involved in running a co-operative, improving their competitiveness. The ability of co-operatives to raise £100,000 of withdrawable share capital per member, increased from £20,000 in 2014, has ensured that co-operatives have the flexibility to raise funding and compete more effectively with companies.</p><p>Furthermore, following the interest rate cap rise from two per cent to three per cent in 2014, credit unions have expanded into higher-risk markets and provide an important alternative to high-cost lenders. The prize-linked savings scheme, which was offered through credit unions, increased individuals’ financial resilience and raise awareness of credit unions. Credit unions have also benefited from the distribution of dormant asset funding by Fair4All Finance, including their £5m COVID-19 resilience fund.</p><p>At Budget 2021, the Government also announced the £150m Community Ownership Fund. This will allow community groups to bid for up to £250,000 matched-funding to help them buy or take over local community assets at risk of being lost and run them as community-owned businesses, supporting co-operative entrepreneurship. In the first round of the fund, the Government funded 38 bids, totaling £10.07 million. Twenty-six of these projects were in England totaling £7.6 million; six in Scotland totaling £1.2 million; three in Wales totaling £460,000; and three in Northern Ireland totaling £780,000. Second round bids are currently being assessed and funding decisions will be announced in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will continue to support the growth of the mutuals sector. Through the Financial Services and Markets Bill, the Government will enable credit unions in Great Britain to offer a wider range of products and services, thereby supporting the growth, diversification, and development of the sector.</p>
