Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he plans to take to help ensure taxi drivers can access affordable loans to support the transition from petrol and diesel cars to electric vehicles.

Since its introduction in 2017, the Plug-in Taxi Grant (PiTG) has provided more than £70m to support the purchase of over 11,000 zero emission cabs. The grant is currently funded until at least the end of this financial year.
