answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2022 answer text <p>The Transport Bill announced in the Queens Speech, offers an opportunity to set out a new, adaptable regulatory framework for small, light electric vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>It is our intention that the Transport Bill will create a Low-Speed Zero Emission Vehicle category that is independent from the cycle and motor vehicle categories. New powers in the Bill would subsequently allow the Government to decide which vehicles will fall into this category, and how they should be regulated to ensure safe use.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>No decisions have been made on the details of the regulations for e-scooters.

The Department undertook a review of the case for amending the current speed and power restrictions of EAPCs as part of the Future of Transport Regulatory Review Call for Evidence published in 2020. Having considered the evidence carefully, the Department’s position is that the safety disbenefits of doing so would outweigh the potential benefits.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 22/06/2022 14:23:13 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2022 answer text <p>The department continues to monitor the sufficiency of childcare. However, it does not hold figures on the number of places available in nursery classes in schools.</p><p>According to findings from the 2021 Childcare and early years providers survey, 7 in 10 group-based providers reported having spare places in their full day provision and almost half of childminders (49%) reported having spare capacity on average across the week. The survey is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2021" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2021</a>.</p><p>The key measure of sufficiency is whether the supply of available places is sufficient to meet the requirements of parents and children, and Ofsted data currently shows that the number of places offered by providers on the Early Years Register has remained broadly stable since August 2015. The department also discusses sufficiency of provision in regular conversations with local authorities. Local authorities are not currently reporting any substantial sufficiency issues and we have not seen a substantial number of parents unable to secure a childcare place.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 21/06/2022 11:27:37 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
