question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 20 February 2023 to Question 142779 on Rolling Stock: North East, what recent assessment he has made of the impact of potential rolling stock production gaps on (a) employment and (b) local economies in the North East.

uin	1234
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>The department keeps the impacts of the domestic market for rolling stock on UK manufacturers under regular review and works closely with rolling stock companies and train operators to understand when new trains are required. However, passenger trains are major assets with a lifetime of 35-40 years and there will naturally be peaks and troughs in the procurement cycle. As the market for rolling stock is a competitive one, there can be no guarantee of orders for individual manufacturers, and they will need to factor these into their own business planning decisions.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 14/11/2023 11:20:25 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>The National E-scooter Evaluation found that by December 2021 rental e-scooter journeys mostly replaced walking journeys (42%), followed by private motor vehicles or taxis (21%). However, the proportion of walking journeys being replaced reduced over time, while the proportion of private motor vehicle or taxi journeys being replaced increased over time.</p><p>One of the potential benefits of using an e-scooter instead of driving is that it may reduce emissions and improve air quality. The National E-scooter Evaluation estimated a total reduction of between 269 and 348 tonnes of CO2e (to December 2021) across the five case study areas due to modal shift from cars to rental e-scooters.</p><p>The Department has made no assessment on the potential impact of shared bike or e-bike schemes on the levels of active travel, air quality or emissions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 14/11/2023 15:58:37 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>This Government has done more than any other to support walking and cycling and over the course of this Parliament will be investing over £3 billion in active travel from a wide range of funding streams. The Government’s most recent assessment of progress towards meeting its active travel goals was set out in the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy report to Parliament in July 2022. The Department will provide an updated assessment in its next report to Parliament in due course which will be published alongside the third statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3).</p><p> </p><p>The carbon savings from active travel make up a relatively small percentage of the total projected carbon savings outlined in the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan. As such, the impact of changes to active travel funding on the ability of the government to meet its overall climate change targets is likely to be small. We will continue to monitor progress, and will adapt and take further action if needed to decarbonise transport in line with our carbon budgets and 2050 net zero target.</p><p>Active travel schemes can also play an important role in improving air quality, but this will vary from one area to another and the impacts will also depend on the extent to which active travel journeys replace journeys made by other modes, particularly the private car.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 14/11/2023 15:47:30 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
