Written question asked by Shivani Raja (Conservative) on Thursday, 17 April 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 23 April 2025. It was answered by Lilian Greenwood (Labour) on Tuesday, 29 April 2025 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Large Goods Vehicles: Concrete

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an estimate of the number of additional lorry drivers required after the reduction in volumetric concrete mixers weight limits.

Answer

The call for evidence conducted from October to December 2023 was an opportunity for respondents to present evidence, but it did not reveal significant new evidence supporting a change in policy.

The outcome of my department’s review into VCMs was published on 18 March. This can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/volumetric-concrete-mixers-review.
