Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has held with the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland on taking steps to increase the installation of charging points to support drivers switching to electric vehicles.

Government works closely with the devolved administrations on supporting the rollout of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the whole of the UK. UK government officials are currently working with Northern Irish counterparts on a bid into the On-street Residential Charging Scheme. In addition, £3.27m from the Levelling Up Fund will expand and enhance the EV charging network in the country.
