Written Question
Electric Vehicles: Finance
Thursday 23rd May 2024

Asked by: Lord Taylor of Warwick (Non-affiliated - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to introduce additional incentives encouraging electric vehicle adoption among consumers.

Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Government grants have been in place for over a decade to help reduce the up-front purchase price of electric vehicles, with over £1.8 billion in grant funding provided since 2011. Grants remain available for vans, trucks, wheelchair accessible vehicles and taxis. Favourable tax benefits also remain in place to support the transition to EVs.

As stated in the Plan for Drivers, the Government will also continue to support the uptake of zero emission vehicles, by addressing common misconceptions and showing how they can be a practical option for most drivers.

Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-22364
Tuesday 7th November 2023

Asked by: Cole-Hamilton, Alex (Scottish Liberal Democrats - Edinburgh Western)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to review the current regulation for enforcement of taxi bays.

Answered by Brown, Siobhian - Minister for Victims and Community Safety

Taxis and private hire cars are licensed under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 ("the 1982 Act"). While the Scottish Government has responsibility for the overarching legislation, the day to day administration of the licensing regime is devolved to independent licensing authorities – in effect the 32 Scottish local authorities. The 1982 Act authorises a licensing authority to appoint, after consultation, stances for taxis.

There are no current plans to review the taxi licensing regime, as set out in the 1982 Act. If there are any issues with any specific taxi stances/bays this will be a matter for the relevant licensing authority to consider and address where appropriate.

Earlier this year the Scottish Government published updated ‘Best practice guidance for local licensing authorities and taxi and private hire car operators on the licensing of taxis and private hire cars and their drivers’.

This guidance offers best practice advice to licensing authorities on a range of issues relating to the licensing of taxis, private hire cars and their drivers and was revised with the assistance of a working group including representatives from the Scottish Government, Transport Scotland, local licensing authorities, taxi and private hire car trade representatives and UNITE the Union.
