- Meeting date: 16 November 2016
The EU Justice Commissioner has pushed national authorities to investigate whether Volkswagen broke local consumer protection laws on 'Dieselgate'. Would the Mayor consider working with UK Government leading an approach of conciliation, rather than litigation where only lawyers benefit, in order that VW potentially offer substantial monies to support the Deputy Mayor for the Environment on measures to mitigate these alleged wrongs?
