answer text <p>Air pollution has reduced significantly since 2010. Emissions of nitrogen oxides have fallen by 45 per cent and fine particulate matter PM2.5 by 10 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>The same regulated air pollution standards apply to hybrid vehicles as to conventional vehicles. Hybrid vehicles may have lower exhaust emissions while operating in electric mode. However, there is limited evidence regarding the difference in total emissions from hybrid vehicles versus non-hybrid equivalents.

answer text <p>In 2021, we commissioned research into the drivers, deterrents and impacts of fly-tipping. It suggested that any friction in the services provided by local authorities, such as charges for waste disposal services, may impact on levels of fly-tipping. The report is available at <a href="https://sciencesearch.defra.gov.uk/ProjectDetails?ProjectID=20941&amp;FromSearch=Y&amp;Publisher=1&amp;SearchText=ev04101&amp;SortString=ProjectCode&amp;SortOrder=Asc&amp;Paging=10#Description" target="_blank">Science Search (defra.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We believe it is important that local residents are able to dispose of their rubbish in a responsible and convenient manner. That is why last year we consulted on preventing charges for householders to dispose of DIY waste at household waste recycling centres. The government response was published on 18 June and we will be introducing legislation at the end of the year.</p><p> </p><p>In our Waste Prevention Programme: Maximising Resources, Minimising Waste, we have committed to consult by 2025 on removing the fee for consumers to have bulky domestic furniture collected from their homes. This will make it easier for them to do the right thing with their items when they are no longer required.</p>

answer text <p>As police demand is changing and becoming increasingly complex, it is vital that we have forces that are fit for the future. Forces need to recruit the best and most able people. This is why there must be a wide choice of entry routes available into policing, helping to ensure that we can draw on the widest talent available.</p><p>The College of Policing’s Direct Entry Programmes at inspector and superintendent rank demonstrated that it is possible to successfully recruit high calibre leaders from outside of policing to senior roles. The full evaluation reports of the two programmes were published in the House on 20 July 2020 -<a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdepositedpapers.parliament.uk%2Fdepositedpaper%2F2282388%2Ffiles&amp;data=05%7C01%7CZahra.Torabi%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C290e9a3707504448353a08dbcfbd901e%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638332185295769869%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2F3W7eiOD4HkPz11WkHwcf78lVoG%2BspIFZuZOPTzFTr4%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Deposited paper DEP2020-0445 - Deposited papers - UK Parliament</a></p><p>Following the evaluation, the schemes were paused whilst the College undertook a consultation with the service, to explore the potential for a viable and sustainable delivery model in future years. The College remain committed to delivering Direct Entry pathways if there is demand from forces in future, and will re-engage with forces on the future delivery of national Direct Entry programmes when other ongoing leadership development, promotion and progression initiatives have been embedded in policing.</p>
