answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s ambition is for almost every car and van to be zero emission by 2050. In order to achieve this, we have said we will end the sale of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040. Our ambition is supported by one of the most comprehensive packages of support in the world for ultra low emission vehicles, and we have one of the biggest markets in Europe for ultra low emission vehicles. Meeting the 2040 commitment should be industry-led, with Government monitoring developments closely. Against a rapidly evolving international context, we will seek to maintain ambitious targets and our leadership position, intervening firmly if not enough progress is being made. Government’s role in the decarbonisation of road transport will be set out in the forthcoming zero emission road transport strategy.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/05/2018 10:01:47 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>Leaving a vehicle and checking for oncoming cyclists, pedestrians and other traffic before opening the door is already part of the DVSA's National Standards for driving. Rule 239 of the Highway Code states: ‘You MUST ensure you do not hit anyone when you open your door. Check for cyclists or other traffic’. It is safer for your passengers (especially children) to get out of the vehicle on the side next to the kerb’.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Cycle Safety Review announced in September, the Department will be considering a number of cycle safety issues, but for obvious reasons it would be inappropriate to pre-empt the outcome of the review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/12/2017 09:04:13 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
