Petition Action

Force UK Govt to levy a £1bn fine on VW for “dieselgate” scandal.

Petition Details

VW have been fined in several other countries (USA, Germany) for the illegal use of defeat devices. Why not UK Govt? And uk VW owners can only hope to get compensation via a class action which is costly and may not succeed. Govt should step in and penalise VW.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This would be a decision for the courts. The UK Parliament and Government aren't responsible for fining companies. You could start a new petition calling for the UK Government to start legal proceedings against VW in the UK.
