To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effect on the level of (a) household and (b) commercial waste taken to household waste recycling centres of local authorities introducing paid permits for vans to access those centres.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effect on the level of (a) household and (b) commercial waste taken to household waste recycling centres of local authorities introducing paid permits for vans to access those centres.
We have not made an assessment of the effect that introducing paid permits for vans to access household waste and recycling centres has had on the level of (a) household and (b) commercial waste. Permit arrangements at household waste and recycling centres are a matter for local authority decision making.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is undertaking with industry to support the production of electric vans in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is undertaking with industry to support the production of electric vans in the UK.
The Governmentâs mission is 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. There are a number of manufacturers already producing vans in the UK or with ambitious plans to begin production in coming years. The Governmentâs Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) offers a comprehensive package of support for ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs). This will see nearly £1.5bn invested in total over the period 2015-2021.
In order to ensure the development of new technologies happens in the UK, OLEV has awarded over £300m in grants via Innovate UK, supporting vehicle manufacturers, technology companies and academia in delivering a major programme of R&D into ULEVs, including vans.
In order to incentivise the purchase of ULEV vans, grant funding has been available since 2012. The plug-in van grant provides 20% of the price of a qualifying vehicle to a maximum grant amount of £8,000, or £20,000 for the first 200 large vans (3.5t+) or trucks, and will be available in some form until at least 2020. Our grant funding for chargepoint infrastructure in homes, at workplaces and on residential streets, as well as the upcoming Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund, all support charging infrastructure for ultra-low emission vans.
In order to aggregate demand for these vans, Government has focused on the biggest fleets. Working with environmental NGO Global Action Plan, 27 of the UKâs largest van fleet operators have joined the Clean Van Commitment committing to transition their total fleet of 65,000 vans to electric by 2028. Again, to support demand, we have legislated to increase the weight allowance for certain alternatively fuelled vans that drivers can drive on a standard Category B driving licence. This is designed to mitigate the additional weight alternatively fuelled power trains can add and avoid the payload of vans being affected.
Spencer Hargrave and his business partner Paul from my constituency set up a van and tool theft awareness group on Facebook after being victims of crime themselves. Through their hard work, they were able to track down one of these thieves, who is now serving seven years in prison. What is the Minister doing to increase the sentences of those who prey on hard-working tradesmen, and will he congratulate Spencer and Paul on their fantastic detective work in helping the police to bring this lowlife to justice?

My hon. Friend reminds the House of the eternal truth of, I think, principle 7 of Robert Peel’s nine principles of policing—that the public are the police and the police are the public. I congratulate Spencer and Paul on working with the police to bring criminals to justice.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effect of an increase to the small claims limit on the ability of postal worker injured in a road traffic accident while travelling in a postal van in the course of their employment to access...
The increase in the Small Claims Track limit to £5,000 for road traffic accident-related personal injury claims will apply to the occupants of a motor vehicle. The increase will apply to all such claimants, whether they are driving, or a passenger in, a motor vehicle, and whether or not they were injured in the course of their employment.
Pedestrians, motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders will not be covered by the increase.
The Government’s reforms do not impact on access to justice and all claimants affected by this increase will be supported by a new easy to use IT Portal which will help enable the effective resolution of their claim pre-court and without the need for legal representation. Claimants will still be able to bring their claim in the low cost small claims court process, which is designed to be both accessible and uncomplicated, should they need to progress their claim through the courts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to page 6 of his Department's publication entitled Facts on motorcyclists casualties, published in June 2015, what the proportion is of (a) car drivers and (b) light van drivers whose contributory factor of their accidents involving motorcyclists was their failure...

The publication entitled Facts on Motorcyclist Casualties published in June 2015 provided information on the proportion of cars and light goods vehicles allocated the contributory factor ‘failed to look properly’ in accidents involving a motorcyclist casualty where a police officer attended the scene of the accident. These proportions for each year from 2013 to 2017 are presented in the table below.
Since police officers do not always record a contributory factor when they attend a scene, we have also included data showing the proportion for those accidents where a contributory factor was recorded. This is the more commonly presented approach for contributory factors.

Using this approach, the proportion of cars and light goods vehicles allocated the contributory factor ‘failed to look properly’ for the years 2009 to 2013 in the 2015 report would have been 48.1% and 48.2% respectively.
Contributory factors assigned by police officers do not assign blame for the accident to any specific road user, however they do provide some insight into why and how road accidents occur. They give an indication of which factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident. Officers do not need to carry out a full investigation of the incident before allocating contributory factors; they usually use professional judgement about what they can see at the scene.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate he has made of the number of incidents of theft from (a) commercial vans and (b) commercial HGVs in England in each of the last three years.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate he has made of the number of incidents of theft from (a) commercial vans and (b) commercial HGVs in England in each of the last three years.
The Home Office’s Commercial Victimisation Survey (CVS) estimates thefts from vehicles amongst business premises included in the survey each year. However, it is not possible to identify the type of vehicles involved and figures cannot be produced for Suffolk as the sample is not designed to yield sub-national estimates.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to encourage the purchase of electric and hybrid vans.
We want all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040, and we will end the sale of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040. Our Road to Zero strategy sets out a clear pathway to zero emissions, to give clarity and certainty to industry and consumers. By 2030, we want up to 40% of new vans sold to be ultra low emission.
We are continuing to offer the Plug-in Van Grant (PiVG) until at least 2020, with current grant rates maintained until at least October 2018. The PiVG offers 20% off the price of a qualifying vehicles up to a maximum of £8,000. Up to £20,000 per van is available for the first 200 vans over 3.5t and HGVs.
The strategy sets out commitments to expand charging infrastructure significantly in order to support the roll out of electric vehicles, including consulting on proposals for chargepoints to be installed with all newly built homes in England, where appropriate. We also want all new lampposts to include charging infrastructure.
Van owners can also benefit from grant schemes to assist with the cost of installing chargepoints in the home and workplace. We will continue to ensure the tax system incentivises the purchase of the cleanest vehicles, in particular zero emission vehicles.
We have launched a consultation on a new Vehicle Excise Duty approach for vans to ensure this system incentivises the cleanest options. In addition, zero emission vans only pay a small proportion of the van benefit charge, and electric vans are not subject to van fuel benefit charge.
