answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2020 answer text <p>The Government is already committed to ensuring net zero carbon emissions in the transport system by 2050. That is why we are going further than the recommendations, investing in at least 4,000 Zero-Emission Buses (ZEBs) through the £5 billion of new funding to overhaul bus and cycle links for regions outside London. This is on top of the £50 million to deliver Britain’s first all-electric bus town and £240 million since 2010 to support the move to lower emission buses. It will be important to account for all of this in the long-term National Bus Strategy we are developing.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 15/09/2020 16:16:03 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

These include Mischon De Reya, Yoti, IBM and Google Venture.</p><p>In our response to any proposals, the Department has made clear that before considering whether certification linked to a test result (antibody or virus test) could ever be used to lessen or exempt individuals from specific measures, we need to be confident in our understanding of how the immune system responds to infection with the COVID-19 virus and how long that response lasts.</p><p>We need to be sure of what the science will allow us to do and what the policy on certification should be based on that evidence, before considering what technology could underpin any scheme.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 01/09/2020 09:43:58 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
