Asked by: Joani Reid (Labour - East Kilbride and Strathaven)
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when her Department plans to publish its findings on weight limits for Volumetric Concrete Mixers; and whether the review considers the need (a) for competition in the market and (b) to reduce emissions across the sector.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The outcome of my Department’s review into volumetric concrete mixers 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
The implications for road safety, infrastructure, the environment, and maintaining fair competition in the market have all been considered as part of the review.
