answer text <p>The Government has committed to keeping the transition to electric vehicles affordable for consumers across the UK. Taxation policy and its impacts are taken into consideration when developing policies that will support and accelerate the transition to zero emission vehicles. Taxation is a matter for HM Treasury and the Chancellor keeps all taxes under review.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Today, the majority of electric vehicle charging happens at home. The Department expects this trend to continue. In addition, there is an extensive public charging network across the country, with over 37,600 available chargers. Government support and industry investment has seen the number of public chargepoints more than triple over the last four years. Last week, the Department for Transport announced an additional £56 million in public and industry funding for local chargepoints across the country.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Data held by the Department on electric vehicle charging devices in the UK is sourced from those installed or funded under government approved grant schemes, and from the electric vehicle charging platform Zap-Map. Charging devices not supplied via these schemes or recorded on Zap-Map are not included and the true number of charging devices will likely be higher than recorded in these figures.</p><p> </p><p>The below table provides the data available for (i) 2020, (ii) 2021 and (ii) 2022. Figures are correct as at 1 October 2022, except for Zap-Map which are as at 1 February 2023.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Calendar year</p></td><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>2022</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>a.)

answer text <p>The Department for Transport is a ‘Disability Confident Leader’ in the Disability Confident Scheme which is the highest of the three levels of commitment to the scheme. In addition to taking steps such as providing an inclusive and accessible recruitment process, the Department provides leadership in supporting the scheme, reports on disability, mental health and wellbeing and has undergone a rigorous validation process. The data available to the Department shows that around 10% of internal applicants since 1 May 2022 applied under the scheme, with a similar level of representation at interview stage.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government offers financial support to consumers via the Plug-in Motorcycle Grant,which helps bridge the price gap between the cost of zero emission and internal combustion engine vehicles. The grant pays for 35% of the purchase price for selected models, up to a maximum of £500 for motorcycles and £150 for mopeds.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to work with the UK industry to grow the motorcycle sector and ensure it has a prosperous future in the UK. In February 2022, the Motorcycle Industry Association and Zemo Partnership published a government-commissioned action plan, “Realising the Full Potential of Zero Emission Powered Light Vehicles”, to support the take-up of zero emission L-category vehicles. The Government has also made up to £350,000 of funding available to grow the zero-emission motorcycle supply chain in the UK.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>This Government is committed to ensuring that no one who is safe to fly commercial aircraft is barred from doing so. Regarding colour vision regulations, this means being able to assess the extent of colour vision deficiency accurately, and calibrating requirements to maintain safety standards without unnecessarily penalising those with relatively mild colour vision deficiency. The CAA’s view as regulator is that the Colour Assessment and Diagnosis (CAD) test currently used provides the most accurate and reproducible assessment of an applicant’s class of colour vision. It would therefore not be appropriate to offer a wider range of tests, as the CAD is suitable to the safety requirements of UK aviation.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department, its executive agencies and arm’s-length bodies publish a large number of consultations and calls for evidence, so collating the information requested would come at a disproportionate cost for the Department. Consultations and calls for evidence are accompanied by other forms of engagement with the public and stakeholders. The Department always aims to publish government responses to consultations in a timely fashion, in line with the Government Consultation Principles, and to keep stakeholders updated on progress.</p><p> </p> more like this
