Expansion at Heathrow will benefit the North, be that through the commitment to about 15 per cent of new slots being used for domestic routes, or through the thousands of new jobs and careers across the country that Heathrow has estimated will be created.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department remains committed to the Northern Powerhouse. Between 2018/19 and 2020/21, the Department for Transport will be investing £831 per head on road and rail upgrades in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber \u2013 more than £30 more per head than in London and the South at £799. The Department for Transport continues to work closely with Transport for the North and local partners to maximise benefits for passengers, businesses and the region as a whole.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-04T10:07:26.237Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-06-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Heathrow Airport: Construction"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an assessment of the effect of a third runway at Heathrow airport on the Northern Powerhouse project.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4363", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kate Hollern"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Blackburn"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kate Hollern"} ], "uin" : "157773"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/931503", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/931503/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We have set out a clear mission to put the UK at the forefront of the design and manufacturing of zero emission vehicles and for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040. We will work with industry to achieve this ambition, and share the benefits this opportunity presents, building on the Automotive Sector Deal.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our ambition is underpinned by one of the most comprehensive packages in the world to support the market for ultra low emission vehicles. We are investing nearly £1.5bn\u200e between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles, schemes to support charge point infrastructure in homes, workplaces and on-street and R&D into cleaner vehicle technologies.<\/p>
