What provision of what statute requires that cars sold in Northern Ireland from 1 February 2026 must have EU Vehicle Type Approval; and whether that law changes on 1 January 2026.
The EU type approval regulations for new cars are applied in Northern Ireland by Article 5(4) and Annex II of the Windsor Framework.

Pursuant to her Written Ministerial Statement of 15 July 2025 on Zero Emissions Vehicles, HCWS82, what support is being provided to public transport providers to purchase zero emission buses.
The Government is reducing the number of different funding streams we pay to Local Transport Authorities. Major city regions will benefit from the recently announced £15.6bn Transport for Cities fund while our smaller cities, towns and rural areas will receive £2.3bn from the Local Transport Grant and over £800m bus capital funding. Local leaders can use this funding to invest in local prioritises, such as investment in new zero emission buses (ZEBs). To support the domestic ZEB industry, the UK Bus Manufacturing Expert Panel was established in March 2025. A key objective of the Panel is to help create a steady pipeline of manufacturing orders. This pipeline involves gathering the necessary data on bus orders over the next ten years into one place so that it is accessible to all ZEB stakeholders. This will offer greater planning certainty to local transport authorities as they develop future decarbonisation strategies. Equally, UK-based manufacturers are well placed to benefit from this stability.
