Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to ensure the continuation of European Whole Vehicle Type Approval certificates for cars after the UK leaves the EU.

We want to agree an approach that minimises disruption and additional costs for the automotive industry and consumers in the UK and the EU as of the day of exit. A decision on whether to continue to apply EU whole vehicle type approval will depend on the outcome of the negotiations with the EU.

Departments are working with DExEU to understand the impacts that withdrawal from the EU will have on businesses, consumers and other economic actors.
