Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
Whether she is taking steps with Cabinet colleagues to ensure the availability of synthetic and sustainable fuels for use in motorsport.
Answered by Stuart Andrew - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
The Government welcomes the moves of the motorsport sector, including Formula 1, to develop, and make widely available, more advanced sustainable fuels. Formula 1 and the British motorsport industry has a great history of technological innovations which can have an enormous impact beyond the racetrack. Motorsport’s work to develop 100% sustainable fuels stands to benefit the global transport sector, and help our drive towards net zero.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her proposals to ban the use of nitrous oxide, what the exceptions will be for legal use of nitrous oxide; and whether those exceptions include motorsport.
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
As stated in the Government’s response to the ACMD’s nitrous oxide review on 27 March, the Government agrees that given the widespread legitimate use of nitrous oxide, it is critical that we consult to understand how best to avoid over-burdening those who need it.
We will shortly consult on controlling nitrous oxide and how best to protect people and communities from the harmful effects, while exempting legitimate uses to minimise any potential burden. We are already aware of legitimate uses in motorsport and we would encourage individuals and businesses involved in that sector to contribute their views to the consultation. The consultation will be available on Gov.uk.
