To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to encourage longer vehicle leases in the Motability scheme.

The Department works closely with Motability Foundation and is responsible for the disability benefits that provide a passport to the Motability Scheme. Motability Foundation is an independent charitable organisation that is wholly responsible for the terms and the administration of the Scheme, along with oversight of Motability Operations.
Most vehicles available within the Scheme are leased for three years, however some are for longer periods. The policies relating to the operation of the scheme are determined by the Motability Foundation and not DWP.
