To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to ensure that there are adequate washing and toilet facilities at overflow lorry parks in Kent.
Answered by Rachel Maclean
The Department for Transport is working with the Kent Resilience Forum to prepare for the end of the transition period. Our plans for the lorry holding areas in Kent at Sevington and Manston include facilities for HGV drivers, including toilet and washing provision. The delivery plans will be carried out in accordance with the latest covid-19 guidance.
