Volkswagen

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had discussions with representatives of Volkswagen on the timetable for the completion of the required emissions and technological repair work for affected vehicles in (a) Northern Ireland and (b) the UK.

Answer

Ministers have pressed Volkswagen to apply the technical fix to vehicles in the UK (including Northern Ireland) as quickly as possible and to make it as easy as possible for owners to have this work completed. Officials meet monthly with the company to discuss their progress. Volkswagen have now applied the technical measure to around 800,000 of the 1.2m affected vehicles.
