Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate her Department has made of the annual economic contribution of volumetric concrete mixers to the economy.

The Department for Transport acknowledges the contribution VCMs make to our economy, particularly to the UK construction industry.

The outcome of my department’s review into VCMs was published on 18 March 2025. This can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/volumetric-concrete-mixers-review
