answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021 in one of the most comprehensive global programmes of support for electric vehicles, with grants available for new plug in cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis and motorcycles, and schemes to support charging point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets. The Government’s forthcoming zero emission road transport strategy, which will be published after the local elections, will set out its plans to support the UK transition to zero emission vehicles. There is a developing market for second hand electric vehicles. Used electric vehicle motorists are able to take advantage of the favourable tax regime the Government has put in place and local initiatives such as free parking, as well as the Government’s grant schemes to assist with the cost of installing chargepoints.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/03/2018 10:45:06 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

However, they do provide some insight into why and how road accidents occur. They give an indication of which factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident. Officers do not need to carry out a full investigation of the incident before identifying contributory factors; they usually use professional judgement about what they can see at the scene.</p><p> </p><p>This data includes only casualties where a police officer attended the scene and in which at least one contributory factor was reported. In the years 2008 to 2016, this related to 72% of reported accidents that took place on local roads in the West Midlands. Each accident may have multiple contributory factors attributed to them.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/03/2018 14:42:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information as we do not collect data about un-adopted roads. A local highway authority may adopt a road if it has been built to the required standard. It will then become maintainable at the public’s expense. An authority will not, however, adopt a road that does not meet the required standard. Some developers do not seek adoption, and some residents will prefer to keep the road as private.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/03/2018 10:51:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
