The Government wants Volkswagen to face the appropriate legal consequences for their actions.

On the 22 February I met representatives of legal firms preparing civil action against Volkswagen. They set out how they believe the Government could support their action and I am now considering these requests.

As these matters relate to potential legal action it is not appropriate to comment further.
