A British transport panel is urging the government to consider prosecuting Volkswagen AG for selling some 1.2 million vehicles in the U.K. that were rigged to cheat emission standards.
The committee, whose recommendations are not binding, argues that sanctions are necessary to prevent a similar scandal in the future. It chides the government for its indecision about whether VW, which admitted the cheating more than 10 months ago, broke English laws.

Other British lawmakers have joined their counterparts in Germany to complain that VW is treating its European customers unfairly by refusing to offer them financial compensation as it has for owners in the U.S.
