Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to increase the level of collaboration with the EU on transport policy.

This Government has reset its relationship with European partners to strengthen economic and security cooperation following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The Secretary of State, Department for Transport Ministers, and officials engage closely with EU institutions and Member States across a wide range of transport policy areas. This engagement aims to build a stronger partnership in the interests of UK businesses and transport users, support growth across both of our jurisdictions, and strengthen transport resilience.

On 18 March 2026, the Secretary of State visited Brussels and met with Apostolos Tzitzikostas, the EU Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism. Additionally, the Secretary of State has held bilateral meetings with her French, German and Irish counterparts to increase the level of collaboration with these key European partners.
