The table below shows the number of households with SMI loan in payment, by parliamentary constituency, for the latest quarter (March to May 2022). Statistical disclosure control has been applied to this table to avoid the release of confidential data where ".." denotes a nil or negligible number of claimants. Therefore, the total number of households with an SMI loan in payment may not sum due to the disclosure control applied.

Asked by: Robert Goodwill (Conservative - Scarborough and Whitby)
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans his Department has to increase the speed of the UK rollout of zero emission buses.
Answered by Richard Holden - Minister without Portfolio (Cabinet Office)
We are providing over £525 million dedicated funding for zero emissions buses (ZEBs) this Parliament, though a number of funding schemes:
Funding from other funding schemes, such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS), can also be used by local areas to support the introduction of ZEBs. In addition, the rate at which the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) can be claimed for ZEBs was increased from 6p to 22p per km in April 2022. This supports operators to introduce ZEBs by reducing the overall cost of ownership.
Table 1 below presents the estimated number of zero emission buses that have been funded in England since February 2020. Where available, information has been provided on the status of the buses and the name of the bus manufacturer has been included. The numbers in Table 1 are not official statistics: they are based on the latest information available and are therefore subject to change.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what targets his Department plans to set for the use of zero emission buses up to 2030.
Answered by Richard Holden - Minister without Portfolio (Cabinet Office)
We are providing over £525 million dedicated funding for zero emissions buses (ZEBs) this Parliament, though a number of funding schemes:
Funding from other funding schemes, such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS), can also be used by local areas to support the introduction of ZEBs. In addition, the rate at which the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) can be claimed for ZEBs was increased from 6p to 22p per km in April 2022. This supports operators to introduce ZEBs by reducing the overall cost of ownership.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which non-UK manufacturers have received orders for zero emission buses through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Area scheme.
Answered by Richard Holden - Minister without Portfolio (Cabinet Office)
We are providing over £525 million dedicated funding for zero emissions buses (ZEBs) this Parliament, though a number of funding schemes:
Funding from other funding schemes, such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS), can also be used by local areas to support the introduction of ZEBs. In addition, the rate at which the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) can be claimed for ZEBs was increased from 6p to 22p per km in April 2022. This supports operators to introduce ZEBs by reducing the overall cost of ownership.
