Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had, if any, with the devolved administrations regarding automated vehicles.

We are grateful to officials in the Devolved Administrations for the productive engagement that we have had so far on the Automated Vehicles Bill. The Automated Vehicles Bill implements the recommendations of a four-year review by the Law Commission of England and Wales, and the Scottish Law Commission.

In line with legislative processes, we will seek legislative consent from Scottish Parliament and Senedd Cymru where appropriate.

We are keen for Great Britain to share in the benefits of these planned measures and look forward to the support of the Devolved Administrations as this Bill moves through parliamentary passage.
