Volkswagen

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what penalties have been imposed on Volkswagen in the UK since the scandal on excessive emissions levels.

Answer

It is for the German Government in the first place to take action given that the vast majority, if not all, of the potential wrongdoing is thought to have occurred at Volkswagen AG in Germany. The Department will assess the prospects of taking action in the UK once the German investigation is complete, based on evidence available at the time.
