Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions (a) he, (b) Ministers of his Department and (c) officials in his Department have had with representatives of the motor industry on the potential reduction in vehicle emissions from electric powered propulsion.

Government Ministers and officials are in frequent dialogue with the motor industry as we work together to deliver our ambition for zero emission road transport. Most recently I was delighted to speak and meet with industry representatives at ‘Cenex LCV2019’ the UK’s premier electric vehicle and technology showcase, held at Millbrook on 04 September 2019.
