Andrea Leadsom
We have already taken a number of actions on charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, investments in hydrogen and low-carbon technology to reduce emissions from industry. We will be doing a lot more, and we will set out our plans in the next few weeks.
Maria Caulfield (Lewes) (Con)
HMRC is having to change VAT rates from 5% to 20% for the installation of renewables, such as solar panels, to meet the EU VAT directive. Will the Minister commit to reversing that decision when we leave the EU?
Andrea Leadsom
My hon. Friend is right. We will be able to choose our own VAT rates.
