Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support he is providing to the haulage sector following the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

The Department for Transport’s assessment is that the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) allows for the vast majority of UK haulage operations to and from the EU to continue as they did before the end of the transition period.  In addition, the Department has worked closely with the sector to prepare for the end of the transition period on areas such as market access and border readiness. Ministers continue to meet regularly with the sector to discuss implementation of the agreement.
