Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will publish the membership and remit of the water delivery taskforce.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Water Delivery Taskforce was established in Spring 2025 to unblock growth constrained by water and wastewater capacity, while maintaining and strengthening environmental protections.

As Minister for Water, I chair the Water Delivery Taskforce. The taskforce brings together key representatives from government departments and the water sector. Its core membership includes representation from: Defra, MHCLG, OxCam, EA, Ofwat, DWI, NE, NISTA, DBT and Water UK. This supports coordinated, sector-wide action.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to align support provided to housing associations with support provided to local authorities to enable them to provide people with low-cost access to EV charging.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Government grants are available for housing associations, offering up to £500 towards the purchase and installation of a charge point.

We will shortly be launching a consultation on ways to ensure more people have the ability to charge from home. This includes ways to support landlords and freeholders to provide timely permissions to install charge points.

Government is engaging with stakeholders to understand barriers and develop policy that will allow housing providers to provide scalable, affordable charging for their residents.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make it her policy to expand the terms of reference of the Cost of public EV charging review, published on 9 June 2026, to include VAT levied on public EV charging.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

While tax costs will be reflected within the review, recommendations on tax policy are out of scope. This is consistent with other such reviews which avoid pre-empting fiscal events, where decisions on tax can be made in the round, taking into account the wider economic and fiscal context.
