Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Transport that officials wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment regarding the review on 15 January 2026 and met with members of his staff on 9 February 2026. The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment was informed that officials are conducting a full (first principles) review, which will look at all options, including abolition.
