Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Answer of 25 March 2026 to Question 121065 on Academies: Electric Vehicles, when the review on new electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes for academy trusts will be completed; and whether the scheme will be restarted.

New Electrical Vehicle Salary Schemes (EVSS) in the school sector, including adding employees to schemes with existing providers, have been paused whilst a cross-government review on these schemes has been undertaken by HM Treasury.

The department has been working closely alongside HM Treasury to conclude the review into EVSS schemes. We will update the academy trust sector before the end of the summer term to provide certainty on these schemes for the new academic year.
