Oral Answers to Questions

Julian Knight Excerpts

Tuesday 6th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I do not think we have heard from Mr Knight.

[Julian Knight (Solihull) (Con)]

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

This morning, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association released research demonstrating that all 270 new-generation diesel vehicles tested to date are below the emissions threshold on the road. In the light of this, will the Treasury team meet me and other colleagues to discuss how we can construct a road tax system that promotes clean diesel over old diesel and protects 9,000 jobs in my constituency?

[Robert Jenrick]

I would be very happy to meet my hon. Friend, who I know is a champion for Jaguar Land Rover. I hope it will reassure him to know that I will discuss these issues with the chief executive of that company later today.
