Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he expects to publish his Department's response to its consultations on the (a) review of HGV periodic testing and inspection exemptions and (b) goods vehicle operating licensing exemptions.

Both the consultations took place between 11^th December 2014 and 5^th March 2015. I hope to publish the responses received to the consultations soon. The consultations were published by the last Government and we will need to consider the way forward before a full Departmental response can be published.
