Written question asked by Gavin Newlands (Scottish National Party) on Wednesday, 3 May 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 9 May 2023. It was answered by Richard Holden (Conservative) on Tuesday, 9 May 2023 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Mode Shift Revenue Support Scheme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with representatives of the European Commission on the operation of the Mode Shift Revenue Support Scheme.

Answer

A review of the Mode Shift Revenue Support (MSRS) scheme, which runs until 31 March 2025, will commence soon. This review will consider all aspects of the scheme, including zonal boundaries.

The current scheme operates under the EU State Aid regime, so any amendments have to be made in line with this legal framework.

However, the revised scheme would be governed by the UK’s independent state aid regime, enabling greater flexibility with the design of the scheme.
