Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government (1) what assessment they have made of the impact of Zipcar's closure on the London economy, and (2) what discussions they have had with the company owners.

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL).

The Minister for Local Transport met with the shared mobility industry in November, including Zipcar representatives, to discuss its challenges and opportunities and how Government can continue to best support the sector. The Department is actively considering what more can be done and is using feedback from the ministerial meeting and further stakeholder engagement to inform next steps.
