answer text <p>Ministers have pressed Volkswagen to apply the technical fix to vehicles in the UK (including Northern Ireland) as quickly as possible and to make it as easy as possible for owners to have this work completed. Officials meet monthly with the company to discuss their progress. Volkswagen have now applied the technical measure to around 800,000 of the 1.2m affected vehicles.</p> more like this

answer text <p>When evaluating the scheme, transport related benefits including travel time, operating costs and reliability were taken into account. The Value for Money assessment for the scheme was less than 1, meaning for every £1 invested, there would have been a loss to the UK economy in terms of return.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government’s priorities for improving road safety are set out in the British Road Safety Statement. We intend to publish a progress report towards the end of this year. Funding is being made available through the £175million Safer Roads Fund to improve the safety of the most dangerous local A-roads in England. The THINK! Country roads campaign targets improving safety on rural roads. Casualties on rural roads in 2016 were 6% lower than in 2012.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) forecasts the full Agency costs required to complete its activities and volumes stated in its Business Plan forecasts, taking into account efficiency plans. Over time the costs of individual DVLA services will change for many reasons including movement in volumes, digital channel take up and mandatory legislative changes. For this reason it is not possible to forecast the individual transaction costs for a year’s time in October 2018. However, in 2016/17, the cost per digital driving licence renewal and provisional driving licence application was £5.87 and £7.74 respectively.</p><p> </p><p>The fees received for DVLA’s Vehicle Registration and Driver Licensing services are combined allowing the DVLA to recover the full costs of its activities. This approach is provided for in legislation and allows a range of both paper and digital transactions to be processed free of charge for customers. For example, the DVLA does not charge customers to change their address on its records as doing so may discourage people from informing of such changes which could impact on the accuracy of the DVLA’s records.</p>
