Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the oral contribution of the Minister of State for Transport of 12 January 2017, Official Report, column 451, what discussions he has had with (a) Volkswagen and (b) Ministers of his Department on further investigation on emissions fixing.
- Answer
-
The Government continues to take the actions of Volkswagen extremely seriously. I hold regular meetings with the company to press them on important matters including the progress of the technical ‘fixes’. On the 16th January Volkswagen informed me that they have applied ‘fixes’ to approximately 350,000 vehicles in the UK, and are currently implementing them at a rate of 20,000 a week.
