answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>The Department has taken steps to allow trials of rental e-scooters in a number of local areas across the country. The trials will run across the next 12 months and will be closely monitored and evaluated by officials. This will build an evidence base to guide any future decisions about whether or not to legalise e-scooter use in the long-term and – if so – on what basis. It is not yet possible to determine the outcome of the trials and how they may influence timescales of future legislative proposals, if indeed they determine that e-scooters should be legalised.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 02/11/2020 15:51:30 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) advice has provided evidence of an enhanced risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 for both transport workers and passengers. This advice has been published on the government website and is titled ‘Transmission and Control of SARS-CoV-2 on Public Transport’.</p><p> </p><p>To further advance our understanding of the transmission risk, the Department has worked with SAGE to develop the Transport Risk Assessment for COVID Knowledge (TRACK) research project. The Department has also commissioned other research projects, including working with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory on transmission risk in aviation.</p><p> </p><p>As part of our Safer Transport Guidance we recommend that passengers reduce the risk of transmission by washing or sanitising their hands before and after using public transport, keeping 2m apart where possible and 1m if not, and wearing face coverings when travelling unless they are exempt. Transport operators also enforce this messaging with signs at transport hubs, and regular announcements at platforms and on public transport.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 02/11/2020 17:21:03 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

uin	107721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2020 answer text <p>Individual refrigeration units can cause significant levels of pollution; however the standards set out for charging Clean Air Zones (CAZs) set out in the CAZ framework are focussed on vehicle tailpipe emissions, which are the greatest source of roadside pollution by a significant margin.</p><p> </p><p>There are also technical limitations to using CAZs to control such vehicles. CAZs rely on Automated Number Plate Recognition to identify the Euro class of a vehicle but cannot identify whether or not they are a refrigerated vehicle; it would not, at present, be possible to use a CAZ in this way.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 06/11/2020 11:12:14 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
