Freight: Income

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of potential changes in the revenue generated by the haulage industry due to EU rules on cabotage since the UK left the EU.

Answer

There has been no formal assessment of the revenue generated. However, based on the most recent statistics published in October 2022, in 2021 UK operators performed cabotage movements as permitted within the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement equivalent to 93% of the average amount of movement that took place between 2015 – 2019.

The 2021 levels of cabotage movements performed by UK operators may differ from the 2015-2019 average due to reasons other than the changes to EU rules about cabotage.
