Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many applications to change a vehicle description to a motor home the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has received in each of the last three years; and how many of those applications have been granted.

In the last three years the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has received 49,901 applications to change a vehicle description to motor caravan. From these applications 32,199 were granted.

For those applications where the body type is unable to be changed to “motor caravan”, vehicle keepers are still able to use the vehicle for this purpose, provided any alterations made to the vehicle do not compromise its safety.
