I turn to Amendment 66 and thank the noble Baroness, Lady Pidgeon, for tabling it. The Government recognise that local authorities have a crucial part to play in this transition. Having strong, reliable and significant local charging provision will give drivers the confidence to make the switch, and partners in local authorities are well placed, as they are experts in their local areas, knowing what type of charging is needed and where, which is crucial to a successful rollout.
