Context
The question comes after the Government published an advanced manufacturing sector plan, aiming to nearly double annual business investment in automotive to £39 billion by 2035. The MP references McLaren's recent success in Formula 1.
Question
As well as congratulating McLaren for winning the Formula 1 constructors’ title for the second season in a row, will the Minister also agree to ask the Chancellor to change the tax on sustainable fuel so that this country can continue to have a leading place in the motoring industry?
Answer from The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Stephanie Peacock)
I would of course like to congratulate McLaren on back-to-back Formula 1 constructors’ championship victories, and I am sure the support it receives in Woking is no small part of that. Alongside the Secretary of State, I attended the British grand prix in the summer and witnessed McLaren and Britain’s own Lando Norris claim victory. My Department will continue to stay in close contact with Formula 1, and I will reflect his comments to the Chancellor.
Not addressed: The Minister did not provide a specific commitment regarding changing taxes on sustainable fuel.
