Motor Vehicles: Standards

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to keep UK vehicle standards in line with EU vehicle standards after the UK has left the EU.

Answer

The Government’s intention is that all existing EU law will be incorporated into UK law when the UK leaves the EU.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is unable to say what changes, if any, might be made and whether, for example, a higher standard than EU vehicle standards might be implemented. Much of this is dependent on policy decisions yet to be taken, together with further work on secondary legislation is to be brought forward.
