Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government why they have made the decision to end the Plug-in Motorcycle Grant.

Between 2016 and grant closure, the Plug-in Motorcycle Grant supported over 15,500 zero emission vehicles.

Ending the £500 per vehicle Plug-in Motorcycle Grant is not expected to have a significant impact on uptake of zero emission motorcycles or on riders. The Government, working with industry, will continue to monitor the development of the zero emission motorcycle market and the need for any further interventions on an ongoing basis.

The Government continues to focus available funding to the areas where it can have the greatest impact.
