Labour — Nottingham South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 February 2025

Debate

Electric Vehicles

Contribution

What an absolutely astonishing intervention by the shadow Minister. It was his Government who introduced the zero emission vehicle mandate, and we are not proposing to change the trajectory that they introduced. I would gently remind him that many fleet vehicles are in fact private vehicles, as people choose to lease their vehicles or access them through a salary sacrifice scheme. Last year, the UK was the largest market in Europe—in fact, in the world—for EV vehicles.[Official Report, 24 February 2025; Vol. 762, c. 10WC.] (Correction) He is talking nonsense.
