answer text <p>The Department introduced legislation in 2012 requiring mobility assessors to hold a professional qualification, which involves being trained in the assessment of a person’s ability to walk. The Department has assisted local authorities by providing detailed guidance - based on the advice of independent mobility experts - on factors that should be taken into account when determining an applicant’s eligibility. Ultimately it is the responsibility of each local authority to satisfy itself that an applicant meets the eligibility criteria set in law.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Figures on public sector expenditure at a regional level are part of the Government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics. These statistics attempt to allocate the spending according to where the benefits of that spend are accrued.</p><p>The statistics include spend on transport by all public sector organisations including the Department for Transport, Local Authorities, Public Corporations (in the case of transport, this is mainly spend by London Underground) and other Government Departments (including the devolved administrations). Comparisons between London and other regions are often not reliable due to difficulty in cost allocation.</p><p>This information is available for Government office regions only, and therefore is unavailable for Greater Manchester.</p><p> </p><p>Statistics for total public capital expenditure on transport per capita for London are given in the table below. The CRA measures the levels of ‘capital’ and ‘current’ expenditure. Capital expenditure has been used as a proxy for spending on transport projects specifically.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Total public sector capital expenditure on transport per capita</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p><strong><em>£s nominal</em></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>2016-17</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>466</p></td><td><p>478</p></td><td><p>533</p></td><td><p>605</p></td><td><p>692</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>We continue to press manufacturers to rectify failings where vehicles on the road, even some of the newest models, show harmful emissions levels significantly greater than the laboratory test limits. Some manufacturers have committed to offering voluntary software changes to EU5 and EU6 vehicles to improve their real world performance and we are encouraging other manufacturers to do the same.</p><p> </p><p>In the Autumn Budget, Government announced supplements to Vehicle Excise Duty and Company Car Tax for new diesel cars not certified to step 2 of Real Driving Emissions (RDE2) standards – also known as Euro-6d. These supplements provide strong incentives for manufacturers to innovate and adopt cleaner technologies on an accelerated basis.</p> more like this
