Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the effect of the new car emission regulations on (a) new and (b) existing kit cars.

The proposals in the Department’s consultation on Road Vehicles – Improving Air Quality and Safety would have no effect on the owners of kit cars that are already registered, as they apply only to newly constructed and unregistered vehicles. Full consideration is being given to the representations received from the public consultation.
