To continue driving after this time, residents must obtain a GB licence.</p><p>Officials are currently progressing the work needed to introduce an exchange arrangement for Kosovan driving licences, subject to a public consultation and the necessary legal process.

answer text <p>There is a place for the use of a variety of digital channels in fast moving modern environments. Ministers will have informal conversations from time to time, in person or remotely, and relevant content from such discussions is passed back to officials. They will also use a variety of digital communications channels for personal, political and Parliamentary matters.</p><p>The Cabinet Office has published guidance to departments on the use of private email that covers how information is held for the purposes of access to information, and how formal decisions are recorded for the official record. This guidance is being updated to reflect changes in technology and ways of working, and will be published by the Cabinet Office in due course.</p><p>It is Government policy not to comment on individual Ministers’ security arrangements. Ministers receive support and expert advice to help them meet their obligations in the most appropriate and secure fashion. That includes regular security briefings for Ministers, and advice on protecting their personal data and mitigating cyber threats.</p>

answer text <p>We are providing over £525 million dedicated funding for zero emissions buses (ZEBs) this Parliament, though a number of funding schemes:</p><ul><li>The Government awarded £50 million of funding to the West Midlands Combined Authority to support the Coventry All Electric Bus City. This funding will support the introduction of up to 300 electric buses.</li><li>£270 million funding was awarded through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) which will support up to 1,278 zero emission buses. In London, government funding has supported the introduction of an estimated 600 ZEBs.</li><li>The Department will provide details on how the remaining £205 million of new funding will be used shortly. We will continue to explore how best to maximise the community benefits of future investment.</li></ul><p>Funding from other funding schemes, such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS), can also be used by local areas to support the introduction of ZEBs. In addition, the rate at which the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) can be claimed for ZEBs was increased from 6p to 22p per km in April 2022. This supports operators to introduce ZEBs by reducing the overall cost of ownership.</p><p>Table 1 below presents the estimated number of zero emission buses that have been funded in England since February 2020.

answer text <p>We are providing over £525 million dedicated funding for zero emissions buses (ZEBs) this Parliament, though a number of funding schemes:</p><ul><li>The Government awarded £50 million of funding to the West Midlands Combined Authority to support the Coventry All Electric Bus City. This funding will support the introduction of up to 300 electric buses.</li><li>£270 million funding was awarded through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) which will support up to 1,278 zero emission buses. In London, government funding has supported the introduction of an estimated 600 ZEBs.</li><li>The Department will provide details on how the remaining £205 million of new funding will be used shortly. We will continue to explore how best to maximise the community benefits of future investment.</li></ul><p>Funding from other funding schemes, such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS), can also be used by local areas to support the introduction of ZEBs. In addition, the rate at which the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) can be claimed for ZEBs was increased from 6p to 22p per km in April 2022. This supports operators to introduce ZEBs by reducing the overall cost of ownership.</p><p>Table 1 below presents the estimated number of zero emission buses that have been funded in England since February 2020. Where available, information has been provided on the status of the buses and the name of the bus manufacturer has been included. The numbers in Table 1 are not official statistics: they are based on the latest information available and are therefore subject to change.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Funding scheme</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Funding awarded to</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>No. Buses</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Status</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Bus manufacturer</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Cambridgeshire &amp; Peterborough Combined Authority</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Kent County Council</p></td><td><p>33</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Leicester City Council</p></td><td><p>96</p></td><td><p>6 buses on the road 68 buses ordered 22 buses funded</p></td><td><p>6 buses on the road supplied by Pelican &amp; Coach UK and manufactured by Yutong 68 buses ordered from Wrightbus Bus manufacturer for 22 buses subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Milton Keynes City Council</p></td><td><p>56</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Warrington Borough Council</p></td><td><p>120</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>South Yorkshire Combined Authority</p></td><td><p>27</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Norfolk County Council</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>Ordered</p></td><td><p>Wrightbus</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>North Yorkshire County Council</p></td><td><p>39</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Portsmouth City Council &amp; Hampshire County Council</p></td><td><p>34</p></td><td><p>Ordered</p></td><td><p>Wrightbus</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Blackpool Council</p></td><td><p>115</p></td><td><p>Funded</p></td><td><p>Bus manufacturer subject to outcome of procurement process by local transport authority or bus operator.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>ZEBRA</p></td><td><p>Nottingham City Council</p></td><td><p>78</p></td><td><p>12 ordered. 66 funded.</p></td><td><p>12 buses supplied by Pelican &amp; Coach UK and manufactured by Yutong.
