Neil Coyle – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Neil Coyle on 2016-09-06.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of whether the Government’s Go Ultra Low scheme to deliver 750 more charging points in UK towns and cities by 2020 will reach its target.

Mr John Hayes

As well as delivering over 750 chargepoints, the Go Ultra Low City Scheme will establish exemplar cities, see local authorities use local powers to encourage uptake, and test new technological solutions. Since the winners were announced in January 2016, the Government has agreed robust delivery plans with all winning cities to deliver the agreed outputs by 2020. Oxford City Council, Milton Keynes, the North East Combined Authority and Nottingham City Council have already begun the process of public chargepoint procurements.
