Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with the devolved administrations on coordinating rapid charging infrastructure for electric vehicles throughout the UK.

Whilst the management of roads is a devolved matter, my officials in the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) are working collaboratively with partners in the Devolved Administrations to ensure that we can all establish effective and coordinated plans in place for rapid charging infrastructure across the whole of the UK.
