Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the introduction of low benefit-in-kind rates for electric vehicles on carbon emissions since 2020-21.

The department has not made a specific assessment of this kind. Transport decarbonisation policy is led by the Department for Transport, while HM Treasury is responsible for strategic oversight of the UK’s tax system. The department continues to work in close collaboration with both, as the Government seeks to decarbonise the UK’s transport networks.
