The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to review the commodity code classification for mobility scooters.

Answered by James Murray

There are no plans to review the classification of mobility scooters. HMRC classify mobility scooters under the description of ‘Vehicles specially designed for travelling on snow, golf cars and similar vehicles’ under tariff heading 8703, which is in line with classification decisions issued in 2001 by the World Customs Organization.
