Taking criminal action against Volkswagen is complex given that in legal terms the wrongdoing appears to have taken place outside the UK. It is for the German Government in the first instance to prosecute.</p><p> </p><p>For this reason, it would be inappropriate to carry out a separate parallel UK criminal investigation. The Department reserves the option to do so, however, based on the evidence from any German prosecution.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/01/2019 14:33:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
