The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 17 April 2026 to Question 125274, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of the decision to end the Plug-in Motorcycle Grant on UK manufacturing.

Answered by Keir Mather

Ending the £500 per vehicle Plug-in Motorcycle Grant is not expected to have a significant impact on the zero emission motorcycle market. The Government continues to work with industry to monitor the development of the zero emission motorcycle market and the need for any further interventions on an ongoing basis.


The Government continues to focus available funding to the areas where it can have the greatest impact.
