This will draw on a wide range of evidence including the work of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC).</p><p>We expect the transition to zero emission vehicles to be industry and consumer-led, with Government monitoring developments closely. Against a rapidly evolving international context, we will seek to maintain ambitious targets and our leadership position, intervening firmly if not enough progress is being made.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/05/2018 16:55:39 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s ambition is for almost every car and van to be zero emission by 2050.

The FCA is carrying out supervisory work with lenders, and is carefully scrutinising firms’ sales practices and processes, to decide what further interventions may be necessary. This work includes assessing how well firms are managing the risk that asset valuations could fall, and how they ensure that they adequately price risk.
