Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with major car dealerships on promoting the sale of electric and other ultra-low emission vehicles.

Last month the Prime Minister, set out a mission to put the UK at the forefront of the design and manufacturing of zero emission vehicles and for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040. Ministers and officials hold regular discussions with the automotive industry and those representing dealerships on promoting the sale of electric and other ultra-low emission vehicles. The joint Government-industry Go Ultra Low campaign is now into its fourth year and aims to inform vehicle purchasers about the benefits of electric and other ultra-low emission vehicles and to dispel widespread myths.
