tabling member constituency	North Swindon

uin	116958
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government has provided capital funding to support an early network of hydrogen refuelling stations. £5m has been allocated to build or upgrade 12 stations to enable the launch of fuel cell electric vehicles by vehicle manufacturers. This has helped secure the UK as one of five global launch markets for fuel cell electric vehicles. In addition, earlier this year £23m of extra funding was announced to increase the uptake of fuel cell electric vehicles alongside the expansion of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. The funding competition for the first phase of this programme is now closed and all proposals are currently undergoing assessment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/12/2017 13:50:47 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to improve the availability of electric vehicle recharging stations.
tabling member constituency	North Swindon
tabling member printed	Justin Tomlinson
uin	116959
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>We want the UK to continue to have one of the best electric vehicle charging networks in the world. To help achieve that aim we have put in place a range of grant schemes to support the installation of charging infrastructure - on-street, off-street and at workplaces. Highways England also has a commitment of £15m to ensure there are chargepoints (rapid where possible) every 20 miles on 95% of the Strategic Road Network. In addition, at Autumn Budget 2017 the Chancellor announced £400 million for a new Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (£200m new Government investment to be matched by private investors). This funding is supported by a range of policy measures including the Automated and Electric Vehicle Bill, currently in Parliament, which will help ensure that there are sufficient electric vehicle chargepoints throughout the UK, and that they are convenient and easy to access for all drivers.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/12/2017 13:52:52 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what implications the Government's plans for a ban on the sale of new petrol-only and diesel-only vehicles from 2040 has for petrol-electric hybrid vehicles.
tabling member constituency	North Swindon
tabling member printed	Justin Tomlinson
uin	116961
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>We are clear that 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. By 2040 almost all new cars and vans will need to deliver a significant proportion of journeys with zero tailpipe emissions. This ambition is technology-neutral, and we welcome any innovative thinking that helps us achieve this ambition. An updated strategy detailing Government’s role in the decarbonisation of road transport will be published before the end of March 2018.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/12/2017 14:47:18 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
