Written question asked by Aaron Bell (Conservative) on Wednesday, 19 October 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 21 October 2022. It was answered by Lucy Frazer (Conservative) on Tuesday, 25 October 2022 on behalf of the Department for Transport.

Large Goods Vehicles: Registration

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of arrangements with the Netherlands for sharing foreign HGV registration details.

Answer

The Netherlands, like other EU Member States, can request HGV registration details under Mutual Legal Assistance provisions. However, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement suspends timescales for responding to Mutual Legal Assistance requests for vehicle registration data in respect of the enforcement of minor traffic offences until 1 January 2024. Requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

We are reviewing our approach to the provision of data once timescales apply.
