answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2017 answer text <p>The provision of a temporary bridge is not considered to be feasible on the A63, especially in a location likely to be used by pedestrians, cyclists and disabled users, due to land constraints. It also clashes with the location of the permanent Princes Quay Bridge.</p><p> </p><p>In the short term we will work closely with Hull County Council, to increase awareness of the alternative Humber Dock Street pedestrian crossing by providing additional signage and information.</p><p> </p><p>In the medium term Highways England are investigating whether construction of the Princes Quay Bridge could begin in advance of the main A63 Castle Street improvement scheme works currently programmed for Spring 2020. In order to deliver this element early, Highways England would need the support of key stakeholders including Hull County Council in securing the land to construct the bridge and co-ordinating traffic management.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 18/09/2017 08:49:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government takes a technology neutral approach to decarbonising the transport sector and supports a wide range of alternative fuels.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) supports a market for renewable fuels, including bioethanol which is delivering greenhouse gas emissions reductions from fuel used in petrol vehicles. We are continuing to support the commercialisation of advanced biofuels by grant funding through an Advanced Biofuel Demonstration Competition.</p><p> </p><p>We have provided £5m to build or upgrade 12 hydrogen refuelling stations and £2m to assist fuel cell electric vehicles deployment in public and private sector fleets. This year we announced £23m of additional funding to increase the uptake of FCEVs alongside the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure</p><p> </p><p>The Government has put in place fuel duty differentials to incentivise the uptake of gaseous road transport fuels. This includes Compressed Natural Gas, Liquefied Natural Gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas.</p><p> </p><p>At the regional level EU legislation sets mandatory CO<sub>2</sub> emission performance reduction targets for new cars and vans sold into the single market each year. It is for manufacturers to decide which technology is most appropriate to meet these targets. As we leave the EU, we will look for opportunities to strengthen further the controls on vehicle CO2 emissions and pursue an approach that is at least as ambitious as current arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/12/2017 17:05:52 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
