Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when her Department plans to publish its findings on weight limits for Volumetric Concrete Mixers; and whether the review considers the need (a) for competition in the market and (b) to reduce emissions across the sector.

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

The implications for road safety, infrastructure, the environment, and maintaining fair competition in the market have all been considered as part of the review.
