answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2023 answer text <p>As the transition to electric vehicles (EV) accelerates, it is important that public chargepoints are easily accessible to all those who need to use them, including disabled and elderly people. Working alongside the disability charity, Motability, the Government commissioned the British Standards Institution (BSI) to produce a new accessibility standard.</p><p> </p><p>A world first of its kind, the Publicly Available Standard (PAS) 1899 was published on 11 October 2022, and lays out best practice on designing and installing accessible public EV chargepoints.</p><p> </p><p>Compliance with PAS 1899 is voluntary. However, the Government is actively encouraging relevant parties to adopt its specifications, building on improvements already being made in the sector. Several local authorities receiving Local EV Infrastructure Pilot funding are already considering PAS 1899 and accessibility in their plans for chargepoint rollout.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 07/03/2023 14:05:05 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2023 answer text <p>The Department regularly reviews the availability of apprenticeships within the transport industry. It is committed to working with arm’s length bodies and industry partners to create high quality apprenticeships, so that the sector has the skilled workforce in place to build, maintain and run the UK transport system. For example, the HS2 programme is expected to create 2000 apprenticeships. The Transport Employment and Skills Taskforce, established in 2022, is considering what more IT can do to promote apprenticeships and other training routes across the industry.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 06/03/2023 10:25:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
