Zero-emission Vehicle Mandate

Viscount Thurso Excerpts

Thursday 17th October 2024 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Thurso (LD)]

My Lords, in addition to regulation, is it not the case that the mode of taxation will also need to change and that, as we electrify our vehicles, we will need to move to road user charging rather than fuel?

[Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)]

The noble Viscount is absolutely right that the end date for the electric vehicle tax relief is next year. However, as he and everyone else in this Chamber will be aware, we are approaching a Budget and I cannot comment on any matter that might be raised in that.
