Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 27 March 2017 to Question 68777, if he will provide the number of (a) Audis, (b) SEATs, (c) VW commercial vehicles and (d) VW private cars to which fixes had been applied by the time of the January and February meetings.
During my meetings with representatives from Volkswagen on 16th January and 6th February, I was informed of the overall number of ‘fixes’ that had been applied to the 1.2 million affected vehicles and pressed them to ensure these were being implemented as quickly as possible for UK consumers.
Officials meet with Volkswagen on a monthly basis and are provided with the detailed information requested. This is set out in the table and includes the most recent meeting on 20th March 2017.
