- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will assess the potential effect of the Peugeot-Citroen deal to buy Vauxhall-Opel on the (a) availability and (b) level of compensation for customers affected by Vauxhall car fires.
- Answer
-
A change in corporate ownership has no impact on the responsibilities of the producer/distributor towards the consumer. Compensation for vehicles affected by a safety recall is a matter for the producer/distributor to agree with the individual consumer. Any Vauxhall vehicle that is currently subject to a safety recall will remain so irrespective of a change in corporate ownership.
