WQ.316/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th JULY 2019
Question
Given the reported decrease in the sale of electric bikes following indications from the Minister that the subsidy would be re-introduced, will the Minister state when a scheme to provide a subsidy for the purchase of electric bikes will be confirmed and indicate the amounts of subsidy that will be made available?
Answer
I can confirm that I have instructed the Department to look at re-establishing an e-bike subsidy scheme, and work has begun. However, there have been no official announcements on the launch of a scheme as its details are not yet finalised, and it is being considered in the wider context of the sustainable transport policy and climate emergency policies.
As work progresses, there will be engagement with retailers and an opportunity for expressions of interest.
As I am sure Members will understand this is a work in progress and so, not to prejudice this, I am unable add any more at this time. There will be announcements in the media, when the scheme is ready to be launched.
