The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the plug-in taxi grant on levels of uptake of purpose-built ultra-low emission taxis.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Plug-In Taxi Grant (PITG) was introduced in 2017 to support the early market growth of zero emission capable (ZEC) taxis and has supported the purchase of over 10,000 vehicles of this type.

The grant is funded until at least the end of the current financial year. All grants remain under review to ensure best value for the money for the taxpayer.
