Zero-emission Vehicle Mandate
Debate between Lord Markham and Baroness Blake of Leeds
Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)
In terms of clear answers, I thought I had made it absolutely clear that I am not able to comment at this point in time.
Lord Markham (Con)
We definitely did not get a clear answer to the question of whether ordinary people can afford these types of car. Perhaps the Minister would like another opportunity to answer that one.
Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)
I made it absolutely clear that we are talking about affordability across the piece. The new car market is a relatively small part of cars coming in altogether. Affordability is very much an objective on this side of the House, and I do not think we need any lectures at all on how we make sure that all people can benefit from improving manufacturing and living standards.
