answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>We are investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021 to support the transition to zero emission motoring. Grants are available for ultra-Low emission vehicles, including cars, vans, lorries and taxis. We also provide schemes to support the installation of charge points in homes, workplaces and on residential streets for those without off-street parking. This represents one of the most comprehensive support packages in the world for the transition to zero emission vehicles. In 2013 we published <strong>Driving the Future Today A strategy for ultra low emission vehicles in the UK</strong>, in which we projected Ultra Low Emission Vehicles would be between 3% – 7% of the market, we remain on track to meet this target.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/09/2019 13:50:04 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government takes its air quality obligations extremely seriously and is firmly committed to improving the UK’s air quality and cutting harmful emissions. In July 2017, we published the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, setting out how we will achieve compliance in the shortest possible time. As a result of this, we are now working closely with 61 English local authorities, and have placed legal duties on them to tackle their nitrogen dioxide exceedances. This is underpinned by £495m in funding, including £220m Clean Air Fund to mitigate the impact of the plans on individuals and businesses. This funding can include, where appropriate, funding towards incentivising take up of electric vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>To support the transition to zero emission vehicles, we are investing nearly £1.5bn‎ between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles, and schemes to support charge point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>There are no plans to convene a Cabinet sub-committee on supporting the development and uptake of electric vehicles. The Economic and Industrial Strategy (Economic Affairs) sub-Committee is the relevant committee for securing cross-Government agreement on electric vehicle strategy and policy. In 2018 the sub-Committee agreed to the Government’s Road to Zero strategy on the transition to zero emission vehicles. The measures outlined in the Strategy amount to nearly £1.5 billion of investment and represent one of the world’s most comprehensive packages of support for zero-emission vehicles. Since 2011, the Government has supported the purchase of over 170,000 ultra low emission vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 16/01/2019 15:34:20 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>Ministers have regular discussions with their counterparts in the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Cities and local authorities have a crucial role to play during the transition to zero emission vehicles and addressing local air quality issues – which is why we are providing £20m of support for local authorities to deliver Ultra Low Emission taxi charging Infrastructure; £48m for Ultra-Low Emission Buses and infrastructure; and £40m to establish Go Ultra Low cities in becoming global exemplars of ultra low emission vehicle uptake. The UK now has over 15,500 public chargepoints. More than 1,500 are rapid devices, one of the largest networks in Europe. We are working with MHCLG to further support the take up of electric vehicles in local communities.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 16/01/2019 15:34:29 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

In 2017, sales of ultra-low emission vehicles were 1.8% of all new cars, and the UK was the second largest market for ultra low emission vehicles in the EU. We remain on track to meet the 2013 projection for sales of ULEVs to make up between 3-7% of all new sales by 2020. We are supporting the design, manufacture and use of ultra low emission vehicles with a £1.5 billion package of policy support out to 2020.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 03/05/2018 15:54:24 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
