Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to EU regulation 2019/2144 on vehicle safety systems, whether the UK has adopted that regulation; and under what circumstances truck and vehicle manufacturers have to comply with that legislation.

EU regulation 2019/2144 was not retained in UK law and does not form part of the GB type approval scheme. Vehicles manufacturers will need to comply with the regulation if they intend to sell their products in Northern Ireland or into the EU.

Vehicle standards are kept under review and a decision will be taken in due course as to whether to introduce any of the relevant technologies in Great Britain as part of our wider programme to modernise vehicle standards
