Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to review her Department's decision to reduce the maximum weight limits for volumetric concrete mobile plants; and if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of this policy on (a) the number of skilled jobs in the construction industry, (b) the size of the construction sector and (c) the environment.

The outcome of my Department’s review into volumetric concrete mixers was published on 18 March. This can be accessed at the following link:
