Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to support UK supply chains.

Supporting supply chains is a top priority for the Government. In response to recent supply chain pressures, we have introduced 33 measures to address HGV driver shortages which are having a positive effect. At a longer-term strategic level, the Future of Freight Plan was published on 15 June which sets out how the Government will adopt a multi-modal approach to freight to support efficient, resilient and sustainable supply chains. Government is also supporting the industry-led Generation Logistics campaign to attract new talent to the logistics sector.
