Grants are not given retrospectively to subsidise the cost of a vehicle that has already been purchased as this would not represent a good use of public funds.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 06/11/2020 11:04:35 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2020 answer text <p>The Budget 2020 commitments are an integral part of our strategy for decarbonising road transport. The commitments are a key part of a package of measures that will enable a mass transition to zero emission vehicles and see the carbon emissions from road transport reduce between now and 2050. The benefits of this funding from a climate change perspective go considerably further than the direct emissions savings generated by the resulting higher short-term uptake of zero emission vehicles.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 25/03/2020 15:47:36 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2020 answer text <p>Powers to tackle vehicle idling are available to Local Authorities, including the ability to issue Fixed Penalty Notices where necessary. However, this issue will not be solved simply through fining motorists. Local Authorities should utilise a range of methods to encourage motorists to change their behaviour, including public information campaigns. Better technology can play a part in addressing idling, such as stop-start technology and low- or -zero-emission vehicles. In particular the growth in Electric Vehicle sales is expected to assist in lowering emissions.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 18/03/2020 15:06:01 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

uin	HL1417
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2020 answer text <p>The Transport Decarbonisation Plan, announced last year, will be published later this year. Ahead of that, a call for engagement, setting the scale of the challenge, will include the department’s forecasts of emissions based on current policies. We already recognise the need to go further than current plans, as shown by the announcement earlier this month on new cars and vans.</p><p>In that announcement, the Prime Minister set out a consultation on bringing forward the end to the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles to 2035, or earlier if a faster transition appears feasible. This reflects the advice from the Committee on Climate Change – to make sure that the UK meets its net zero by 2050 commitments. The consultation’s purpose will be to identify what the accompanying package of support will need to be to enable the transition and minimise the impacts on consumers and businesses across the UK, building on the significant demand and supply side measures already in place. We plan to conclude the consultation in the summer.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 20/02/2020 16:33:17 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
