Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 December 2025

Debate

Employee Car Ownership Schemes

Contribution

My Lords, I appreciate that the Minister is new to his post, but would he have a word with his colleagues? The car industry in our country is being destroyed by this determination to prevent it manufacturing vehicles with internal combustion engines beyond a particular date. I know that the Government are keen to be in step with Europe, so will they follow Europe and extend that period? What we are doing is creating a market for cheap Chinese electric vehicles, at the expense of some of the best engines in the world, and there are many jobs associated with that.
