Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had discussions with his officials on the potential merits of introducing bespoke phase out dates for powered light vehicles following the extension of phase out for vans and cars announced on 20 September 2023.

The consultation on when to end the sale of new non-zero emission L-category vehicles (including mopeds and motorcycles) was open to responses from 14 July to 21 September 2022 and supported by a thorough programme of stakeholder engagement. The Department is now in the process of analysing the responses and will bring forward the Government’s response in due course.
