answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2023 answer text <p>The end of sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, will help the UK meet its climate change obligations. It will improve air quality in our towns and cities, support economic growth, and create new jobs in our industrial heartlands. The 2030 phase out will contribute to increasing the supply of ZEVs to meet increasing demand from UK consumers and will make the UK a more attractive environment for vehicle manufacturers to produce and sell ZEVs. Alongside government support, this will generate new employment opportunities in the BEV supply chain, as well as in the chargepoint and energy industries.</p><p> </p><p>As estimated in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, the production of all zero emission road transport vehicles has the potential to support up to 72,000 jobs, worth up to £9.7 billion GVA in the year 2050.</p><p> </p><p>We will shortly bring forward a proposed ZEV mandate to support legislative delivery of our phase out commitments. We will consider the potential impact this legislation will have on jobs as part of our Government Response Impact Assessment.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 06/02/2023 11:05:30 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden

uin	136639
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>Since mid-2021, UK inflation has been pushed higher by global pressures, such as supply chain disruptions from Covid-19, and pressures following Russia’s war against Ukraine. More recently, tightening in the labour market, rising wages and other input prices for firms mean that domestic factors are playing a bigger role. As a result, consumer price inflation was 10.5% in December 2022.</p><p> </p><p>Wages have also grown but remain lower than current levels of inflation.</p><p>Total annual pay growth increased to 6.4% in the three months to November 2022, significantly above pre-pandemic average growth of 3.4% (2019 average).</p><p> </p><p>Below inflation wage growth has led to a fall in real household disposable income. Latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show real household disposable income decreased by 2.6% on the year in Q3 2022. The OBR, in its November 2022 forecast, expected real household disposable income to fall in 2022 and 2023, and start increasing from Q4 2023.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 03/02/2023 08:24:30 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
