answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>At the International Zero Emission Vehicle Summit in September, the Government announced that it would provide up to £2 million of support for e-cargo bikes. This followed a call for evidence on how the Government could best harness the opportunities for greener delivery in our towns and cities.</p><p> </p><p>The funding will contribute 20% of the purchase price of new e-cargo bikes up to the first £5,000 of any purchase price. This gives a maximum grant of £1,000 per bike, regardless of the purchase price of the bike. Funding will be conditional on individual businesses following a code of cycle safety good practice and will be split between larger fleets and smaller operators to ensure benefits are available to and spread between all sizes of business. Replacing traditional last mile delivery vehicles with electric delivery bikes can help towards cutting traffic, reducing congestion and cleaning up our air.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/10/2018 09:53:28 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	177172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>Air quality is managed across a range of policy areas led by several departments, which are continuing to address this important issue. The primary focus in the short term is on bringing forward compliance with legal limits for NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations, and stakeholders from seven departments take part in the coordinated implementation and governance of the NO<sub>2 </sub>Plan. The principle cause of these emissions is transport, and that is why the Defra-DfT Joint Air Quality Unit continues to lead this work. A Ministerial Oversight Group for air quality is in place to ensure a coherent approach across Government, and gives ministers from Defra, DfT, DHSC, MHCLG and HMT direct oversight of the delivery of the Plan.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/10/2018 14:40:21 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
