The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans she has for the provision of funding for the plug-in taxi grant from April 2025 onwards.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Plug-in Taxi Grant (PITG) was introduced in 2017 to support the early market growth of zero emission capable taxis. To date it has provided over £70 million to support the purchase of over 10,000 vehicles of this type.

The PITG is funded until at least the end of the current financial year. All grants and taxation measures remain under review to ensure they deliver the greatest value for money to the taxpayer.
