Oral Answers to Questions

"In my opinion, the Government’s handling of their electrification programme has been nothing short of shambolic. The pausing, then the unpausing, of the TransPennine and midland main line electrification painted a picture of a Department in disarray.

Written Question
Motor Vehicles: Excise Duties
Tuesday 24th November 2015

Asked by: Liz McInnes (Labour - Heywood and Middleton)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reasons the reduction in car tax for people in receipt of personal independence payments is awarded from the date of application to DVLA rather than the date of award of such payments; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Andrew Jones

Individuals who receive the standard rate mobility component of Personal Independence Payment are entitled to a 50% reduction in the rate of vehicle excise duty applicable to their vehicle, following a qualifying application being received by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. This application can only be made after a statement of entitlement to the qualifying benefit has been issued by the Department of Work and Pensions.

Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill [Lords]

"I think my hon. Friend is absolutely right. The 16-year-olds I know and speak to are very keen on the idea of greater political involvement. We keep going back to the Scottish referendum, but it was amazing to see so many young people participating in that very important debate. It …..."

Contrary to popular myth, young people are interested in political issues—from climate change to racism, and from education to crime. I meet …..."
