answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>Zero emission vehicles are a key component of any long term answer to urban air quality problems. The government will spend more than £600 million between 2015-16 and 2020-21 to support the uptake and manufacturing of ultra low emission vehicles in the UK which will keep the UK on track to meet our ambitious target that nearly all cars and vans will be zero emission by 2050.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 17/12/2015 14:05:28 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>It is too early to set the service pattern for the GB rail network in the 2020s and beyond. However, one of the key principles that will guide future service patterns is that all towns or cities which currently have a direct service to London will retain broadly comparable or better services once HS2 is complete. The future design, calling pattern and frequency of network services once HS2 opens will be developed openly, and in partnership. </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>This assessment will be made as different service options for the post-HS2 railway are developed. A wide range of potential service options are open, ranging from relatively evolutionary change to widespread service redesign. These issues were outlined in the Network Rail report Better Connections published in July 2013, and available on their website (<a href="http://www.networkrail.co.uk/improvements/high-speed-rail/" target="_blank">http://www.networkrail.co.uk/improvements/high-speed-rail/</a>). </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department is working with Network Rail to design the next stage of the service planning work for rail services once HS2 Phase 1 opens, and looking ahead to Phase 2. The Department will make further announcements shortly. </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
