Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress she has made on the dual registration scheme for specialist events hauliers.

Dual registration allows eligible operators to transfer their vehicles between their two operator licences without needing to change vehicles mid-tour.

Following successful Parliamentary Passage, the legislation underpinning the dual registration measure came into force in July 2022. Specialist events hauliers who meet the required criteria – including operating under a hire or reward model, and maintaining operator bases within and outside of GB – have therefore been able to use this measure since this time.
