Driving: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will list the policies she has adopted from the previous Government's document entitled Plan for Drivers, published 2 October 2023.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
“The Plan for Drivers” was published by the previous government; the Department is focused on actions that will make a positive difference for drivers in the light of this Government’s priorities. These include providing £1.6bn enabling councils to fill 7 million potholes and collaborating with the British Parking Association to make paying for parking easier.
In addition, we are delivering those measures in the Plan that help ensure smoother journeys, including incentivising roadworks to be finished promptly by extending overrun charges to weekends, and supporting the transition to electric vehicles by streamlining the approval process for works to install public chargepoints.
