Lawn Mowers: Petrol
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government ban on the sale of new petrol-fuelled vehicles from 2030 includes sit-on, petrol-fuelled lawnmowers for (a) domestic and (b) non-domestic use.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Government’s commitment is for the phase out of new cars that rely solely on an internal combustion engine from 2030. Petrol-fuelled lawnmowers are considered non-road mobile machinery and therefore would not be in scope of the commitment for either domestic or non-domestic use. The Government will set out further details on its proposals in due course.
