Vehicle Legislation and Environment Team Interest Groups

Any SMMT member can opt to become a member of an Interest Group (IG). As an IG member you will receive circulars relating to your IG(s) subject area. IGs are basically mailing lists, that is, they do not meet, and therefore they do not generate minutes or agendas.
