answer text <p>An assessment has not been made of the cost of bidding for funds from the Transforming Cities Fund, but the Government is mindful of the cost to Local Authorities of bidding for local transport funding. That is why the bidding process for the Transforming Cities Fund has been designed to be light-touch, and eligibility has been limited to the largest English cities to maximise cost-effectiveness for bidders while still delivering value for money for the taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>City regions have been initially encouraged to provide light-touch expressions of interest through a Call for Proposals, and the Department will work closely with shortlisted city regions to develop the strongest possible proposals.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government’s Consultation Principles replaced the previous Code of Practice in July 2012. The latest version dated 14 January 2016 requires that “Consultations should last for a proportionate amount of time”. In this case, the proposals were the subject of informal discussion between the UK motor industry and the department’s technical experts prior to the consultation launch.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) introduced the new practical driving test on 4 December 2017. Senior officials engaged with representatives from the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union throughout the development of the new driving test and considered any concerns raised by PCS.<strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p>The new elements of the test were trialled extensively. No incidents were recorded during the trial of in excess of 3,000 candidates.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2017, the DVSA carried out a risk assessment of the new test and conducted further evaluations in September 2017, which did not identify any unacceptable risk. It also commissioned an independent assessment of the test from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). The RoSPA report concluded that all new parts of the driving test were low risk.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Since 2011, over 130,000 ultra-low emission battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell and plug-in hybrid vehicles have been registered in the UK. Sales of ultra-low emission vehicles have been increasing rapidly, up by 27% in 2017 compared to 2016. However, they still make up only a small proportion of the total with 1.8% of all new car sales in 2017. We want to see this continue to increase and we will shortly be publishing a strategy on the transition to zero emission road transport.</p><p> </p> more like this

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> more like this

answer text <p>Under the EASA Aircrew Regulation pilots of EASA aircraft are required to hold an EASA licence. However, certain non EASA aeroplane and helicopter licences remain valid until 8 April 2018 to enable a smooth transition to the new requirements. The CAA publicised the requirement when the Aircrew Regulation was adopted and has been actively advising licence holders of this requirement through a variety of channels. Those seeking further information will find it on the CAA website.</p><p> </p><p>All pilots who hold a licence issued under the Joint Aviation Requirements that preceded the Aircrew Regulation and who have a valid medical certificate, without which they cannot fly an EASA aircraft, have now been issued with an EASA licence. This is the vast majority of pilots who hold such licences.</p><p> </p><p>The holders of other licences that wish to fly EASA aircraft will need to convert their licence to an EASA licence. However, there is no obligation on pilots to convert their licences. Those that do not convert their licences will still be able to fly non-EASA aircraft such as historic, homebuilt or very light aircraft.</p>
