Thank you for contacting me about vehicle taxation and for bringing this report to my attention.
I welcome the steps being taken towards achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Widespread uptake of electric vehicles and the phasing out of new petrol and diesel cars and vans will make a vital contribution to this.
As this transition gathers pace, we will need to ensure that revenue from motoring taxes keeps pace with this change to ensure that investment in road infrastructure can meet future demands and challenges.
I will read the report and discuss the recommendations with ministerial colleagues.
