Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 15 November 2023 to Question 369 on Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of regulatory divergence with (a) the EU and (b) other markets on the UK L-Category sector.

The UK’s exit from the European Union has provided the opportunity for this country to develop its own regulatory approach to decarbonising its entire fleet of new road vehicles, which will support UK industry and riders in the process. As previously stated in the answer to Question 369, the Government will consult on any future regulatory framework to deliver and enforce the end of sale dates for new non-zero emission L-category vehicles as is appropriate.
