Roads: Charging

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they will implement their commitment to introduce lorry road-user charging.
Answer

My Lords, heavy goods vehicle road-user charging is being introduced to ensure a fairer arrangement for UK hauliers. The details of the scheme and offsetting measures to help UK hauliers are still to be finalised. It must operate within relevant EU legislation and apply to both UK and foreign hauliers. New legislation will be needed.
