Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what comparative assessment she has made of road wear caused by (a) motorcycles and (b) other vehicle types; and whether she plans to update future VED banding.

The Treasury has not made a specific assessment of the contribution of motorcycles to road wear compared with other vehicle types.

There are no current plans to make changes to VED banding. The Chancellor makes decisions about taxation at fiscal events in the context of public finances.
