Committee Chair comments on the Volkswagen emissions scandal

23 January 2017

Environmental Audit Committee write to Rt Hon John Hayes MP, Minister of State, Department for Transport regarding the Volkswagen emissions scandal

"There have been worrying reports that Fiat Chrysler may be implicated in a new diesel emissions scandal in the US.

"We have written to the Transport Minister to find out what information they can share about this case and how many vehicles from the same manufacturer have been affected in the UK.

"We need to understand the full extent of vehicle emissions cheating in the UK so that consumers can be confident that their vehicles are not causing harm to people and the environment."
