British lawmakers accused German carmaker Volkswagen’s U.K. head of telling “blatant lies” about excess emissions from its diesel cars as he testified to them about what steps VW is taking to clear the matter up.
Volkswagen’s Paul Willis had argued to a parliamentary committee that the company had “not misled customers in any way,” and added that “there is nothing wrong with any of [the cars] at all,” according to The Times of London.
“I have seen all sorts of evasive witnesses, but I think we have just seen somebody tell us absolute blatant lies,” Graham Stringer MP later said.
