Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his Department's policy to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 to promote zero emission mobility.

We are spending more than £600 million by 2020 to support the development, manufacture and use of ultra low emission vehicles. This programme includes incentives to encourage motorists to choose cleaner vehicles, and grants for essential recharging infrastructure. This is putting the UK on track to meet our goal of all new cars and vans being zero emission by 2040, making almost all cars and vans zero emission by 2050.
