The Business Secretary will face MPs amid mounting concerns over how the car industry will cope with current plans to boost the number of electric vehicles.
Jonathan Reynolds announced a “fast-track” consultation into the plans on Tuesday night and will follow up with a statement to the House on Wednesday.
He told car manufacturers he was “profoundly concerned” about how policies meant to phase out new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 were operating, and would consult on “a better way forward” while still keeping the target.
The move came after Vauxhall-owner Stellantis said it would close its van-making plant in Luton, putting 1,100 jobs at risk, amid what it called the “stringent” UK zero-emission vehicle mandate.
Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with political correspondent The Spectator.
