answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government wants to see at least 50%, and as many as 70%, of new car sales, and up to 40% of new van sales being ultra low emission vehicles (ULEVs) by 2030. The Government’s role is to set the right framework for industry to bring forward the technologies to support this transition, and to encourage people to choose the cleanest vehicles. Price parity between conventional and ultra low emission vehicles, anticipated by many to be reached in the mid 2020s, will be a key factor.</p><p> </p><p>Given the many uncertainties in the adoption of new technologies, it is challenging to project progress against future levels of ambition. However, the Government actively tracks market developments and notes that ULEVs continue to increase their share of new registrations in the UK. In Quarter 3 of 2018, the number of plug-in grant-eligible cars registered for the first time in the United Kingdom was up by over 12% on the same quarter in 2017, and by 50% on the same quarter in 2016. The Department will keep under review progress towards its ambitions by 2025, and will consider what interventions are required if not enough progress is being made.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 17/12/2018 10:13:21 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to ensure that the Borderlands Growth Deal will secure improvements to the A75 primary trunk road.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>Road investment in Scotland is a devolved matter and any proposals to improve the A75 would, in the first instance, be a matter for the Borderlands local authorities to discuss with the Scottish Government. Where there are areas of cross-border interest UK Ministers remain keen to collaborate with their Scottish counterparts. Growth Deals are locally led and proposals must have local support, deliver growth and represent good value for public money. Government reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining momentum and negotiating a Growth Deal for the Borderlands in the Autumn Budget.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 10/12/2018 16:23:50 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK has statutory targets for both air quality and greenhouse gas emissions across the whole economy. For greenhouse gases, statutory mechanisms set national targets every five years in the form of carbon budgets, as established by the Climate Change Act 2008.</p><p> </p><p>For air quality, the Government consulted on a world leading Clean Air Strategy earlier this year, which includes 2020 and 2030 targets for five key air pollutants (nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, ammonia and volatile organic compounds). The Government intends to publish the final strategy by the end of this year. At a local level, the Government and Local Authorities are working to comply with our legal targets for roadside nitrogen dioxide through the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, supported by a £3.5 billion investment into air quality and cleaner transport.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/11/2018 14:05:31 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>We have not made an estimate for 2028. However, the Government’s Clean Growth Strategy, published in October, set out that one possible pathway to 2032 could involve emissions from transport falling by almost 30 per cent compared to today. In order to achieve this pathway at least 30 per cent of new car sales are expected to be ultra low emission vehicles by 2030, and possibly as many as 70 per cent. For new vans, up to 40 per cent of sales could be ultra low emission vehicles by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/03/2018 12:41:48 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>We have regular discussions with all the key parties in the electricity systems – including energy suppliers, network operators and National Grid – to ensure that they are prepared for electric vehicle take up. We are also taking powers as part of the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill, announced in the Queen’s speech, which will mean all chargepoints sold or installed in the UK will be ‘Smart’ enabled. Smart charging has the potential to reduce the demands from electric vehicles by ensuring their charging can flex to meet grid needs. Through their ‘Future Energy Scenarios’ work published on 13 July 2017, National Grid project that with smart charging the additional peak demand caused by electric vehicles in GB could be reduced to 6GW in 2050. Northern Ireland Electricity Networks is responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity in Northern Ireland, and energy policy in Northern Ireland is devolved.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/07/2017 12:36:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
