LONDON: The UK boss of Volkswagen will be hauled before MPs on Monday to answer questions about the diesel emissions scandal.
The German carmaker has admitted that 11 million of its vehicles worldwide are fitted with software which was used to cheat environmental tests in the US.
Close to 1.2 million vehicles are affected in the UK.
Paul Willis, managing director of Volkswagen Group UK, will appear before the transport select committee.
Transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders chief executive Mike Hawes will also give evidence.
The emissions scandal was sparked by US environmental regulators who found that VW had installed defeat device software which switched engines to a cleaner mode when they underwent official testing.
Once on the road the cars produced nitrogen oxide pollutants at up to 40 times the legal standard.
