The Government\u2019s Jet Zero Strategy recognises that aviation creates both CO2<\/sub> emissions and non-CO2<\/sub> climate impacts and commits to addressing non-CO2 <\/sub>by better developing our understanding of its impacts and potential mitigations.<\/p>

<\/p>

All relevant evidence was considered in the development of the Jet Zero Strategy, and uncertainties remain over the magnitude of non-CO2 <\/sub>impacts on the climate.<\/p>

<\/p>

We will continue to engage closely with the science, working closely with academia and industry, including as to how to quantify and track the impacts of non-CO2<\/sub>.<\/p>

The Government has ensured that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) is available for as many people as possible. Hence, employees can be on any type of contract and be eligible to be furloughed under the CJRS.<\/p>

<\/p>

From August 2020, the level of the grant will be tapered slowly to reflect that people will be returning to work. An employer can continue to claim for all employees furloughed for 21 days before 30 June as long as any single claim period does not exceed the maximum number of employees they claimed for under any claim before 30 June.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Chancellor of the Exchequer regularly meets with parliamentary colleagues and has answered questions on this issue in the House.<\/p>

The Government has recently announced further measures as part of the comprehensive economic response, taking unprecedented steps to support families, businesses and the most vulnerable. The fiscal response so far totals £160bn.<\/p>

<\/p>

As well as the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) and Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS), this package includes a comprehensive set of Government-backed loans and grants to businesses, tax deferrals, rental support and mortgage and consumer credit holidays.<\/p>

<\/p>

This package also includes extra funding for the welfare safety net, in order to help those unable to access other forms of support to get through the coronavirus outbreak. The temporary welfare measures include increases to Universal Credit and Local Housing Allowance, a relaxation of the Universal Credit minimum income floor and making Statutory Sick Pay easier to access.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s Plan for Jobs will support, protect and create jobs.

The specific information requested is not available. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) deals with around 750,000 medical cases each year and aims to complete 90% within 90 working days. The length of time taken to deal with an application following a driving licence being revoked depends on the medical condition involved and whether further information is needed from medical professionals. The table below shows the average working days it took DVLA to make a licensing decision on all medical applications over the last four years.<\/p>

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) deals with more than 750,000 medical cases every year. There is a dedicated team in place which is responsible for the continuous improvement of all medical driver licensing services and communications. Letters to customers and medical professionals have been improved, helping to ensure that the DVLA receives the information it needs as quickly as possible.<\/p>

<\/p>

The DVLA has recruited additional staff to process medical applications and notifications, to make licensing decisions quicker. This includes increasing the number of doctors and introducing nurse caseworkers to deal with more complex cases.<\/p>

<\/p>

The DVLA is also working with third parties, for example, GPs, consultants and opticians, to reduce turnaround times on the additional information it requires to make licensing decisions.<\/p>

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) introduced the new practical driving test on 4 December 2017. The new elements of the test were trialled extensively before the launch.<\/p>

<\/p>

DVSA conducted an internal risk assessment of the new test, which did not identify any unacceptable risk. It also commissioned an independent assessment of the test from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). The RoSPA report concluded that all new parts of the driving test were low risk.<\/p>

<\/p>

DVSA is closely monitoring the new driving test and as of 8 January 2018, there have not been any incident reports in relation to the new test elements.<\/p>
