HM Treasury written question – answered at on 12 January 2017.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 9 January 2017 to Question 58110, whether his Department has modelled which VED bands the 1.2 million affected VW vehicles would have been placed in had the correct emissions data been available at the time of registration.
The issue with some Volkswagen diesel cars refers to their nitrogen dioxide emissions. Vehicle Excise Duty bands are set according to carbon dioxide emissions, which are not affected by the existence of “defeat devices”.
