Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of lorries from EU countries, and in particular the Republic of Ireland, using roads in the UK on the way to other EU countries; and whether any costs incurred by the UK will be taken in to account in negotiations with the EU.

Data for 2017 indicates that 36,000 Irish registered Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) travelled through UK on their way to Mainland Europe.

Through the HGV levy these hauliers contribute to the costs of the roads they use. This will continue to be the case after the UK leaves the EU.
