Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of EU regulation 2019/2144 on the purchasing and selling of vehicles from the UK into the European Single Market; and whether he plans to adopt proposals similar to that regulation into UK law.

UK manufacturers selling their products into the EU must ensure their vehicles are approved to the relevant EU regulations, including the technical requirements laid out in Regulation (EU) 2019/2144.

Vehicle standards are kept under review and a decision will be taken in due course as to whether to introduce any of the relevant technologies in Great Britain as part of our wider programme to modernise vehicle standards.
