Question to the Wales Office:
What recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on lorry driver shortages in Wales.
This question was answered on 15th September 2021
The Secretary of State for Wales and I have a wide range of discussions with Ministerial colleagues, including how to solve the current shortage of lorry drivers.
That is why the government is increasing the availability of HGV driving testing. However, I would like to remind the honourable Member that the HGV driver shortage is not exclusive to the UK and is a Europe wide issue.
