- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the oral contribution by the Minister of State for Transport of 17 November 2016, Official Report, column 364, on car manufacturers: emissions, whether he has received the pledged payment from Volkswagen; and what plans he has to have further discussions with Volkswagen on payments as a result of its manipulation of emissions tests in 2015.
- Answer
-
I have received written confirmation from Volkswagen UK that they will reimburse the £1.1m of costs incurred by the Department during the Emissions Testing Programme. The Department is in contact with the company to arrange the payment. I continue to meet regularly with Volkswagen UK to press them to improve their treatment of UK consumers and complete their fix programme as quickly as possible.
