Written Answers
Large Goods Vehicles: Excise Duties
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe)
Friday 12th June 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the HGV road tax holiday will commence and finish; what the eligibility criteria are for that scheme; and how the application process will work.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

The government will introduce a 12-month holiday from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED, also known as road tax). This will apply to the majority of HGVs renewing their VED between 1 July 2026 and 30 June 2027. Eligible vehicles will pay just £1 for their annual VED, saving £600 for a typical heavy lorry. Tax classes eligible include: standard HGV (tax class 1); trailer HGV (tax class 2); special types (tax class 57); combined transport (tax class 23); and island goods vehicles (tax class 16). If a vehicle is liable for the HGV levy, it will continue to be charged at the existing rate.

This temporary reduction in VED is in recognition of the key role the road haulage sector plays in transporting goods, including food, across the UK and its disproportionate exposure to fuel costs. Fuel costs make up a substantial proportion of HGV operating costs, and this action will help prevent cost pressures from the Iran conflict spreading across the economy.

Select Committee Inquiry
1 Jun 2026
The future of Policing in Wales
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Policing in Wales is reserved to the UK Government, with the Home Office bearing responsibility for publishing the most pressing national crime threats and how police forces ought to respond to them (the Strategic Policing Requirement), presenting the Annual Police Grant Report to Parliament for approval, and holding Police and Crime Commissioners accountable.

As elected representatives, Police and Crime Commissioners are responsible for police governance, police oversight, and the commissioning of criminal justice services for their force area.

A UK Government White Paper published in January outlined plans to abolish PCCs, the elected officials responsible for overseeing the budget and overall strategy of individual police forces in England and Wales. In England, their responsibilities will be taken on by elected regional mayors or council leaders, however it is not yet clear who will take on these functions in Wales.

It also set out plans to merge a number of England and Wales’ 43 territorial police forces, although there is no clarity yet on what this could mean for Wales.

Metal mine pollution in Wales
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Once a major industry in Wales, mines extracting metals like zinc, lead and gold are now largely abandoned. But metals from these mines can discharge into local rivers, streams and lakes, damaging local plant and animal biodiversity and possibly impacting human health. 

Abandoned metal mines cause extensive pollution in Wales. Approximately 1,300 sites impact on water quality and ecology in over 700km of watercourses. The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) and Natural Resources Wales (NRW), since 2020, are addressing these impacts through the Metal (Non-Coal) Mines Programme, funded by the Welsh Government. 

As part of the Committee’s inquiry into ‘The environmental and economic legacy of Wales’ industrial past’ the Committee will hold a one-off evidence session on metal mines.

Wales' role in defending the UK
Welsh Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 31 Aug 2026)


Wales is home to a substantial and well matured defence manufacturing industry, spanning sectors including aerospace, defence-related electronics, drones, weapons, ammunition and land systems manufacturing (e.g. armoured fighting vehicles). The Welsh Government has estimated that Wales’ combined defence and aerospace sector directly employs 16,000 people, has a turnover of £3.7 billion and contributes approximately £1.5 billion in gross valued added (GVA) to the Welsh economy.

The UK Government has committed to increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP in the next Parliament, with current projections showing an estimated spend of 2.68% of GDP by 2030. In line with its NATO allies, the UK has committed to reach 3.5% of GDP on defence spending by 2035.

The UK Government has said that defence investment will create a 'ripple effect throughout the Welsh economy, supporting not only direct employment but also numerous supply chain businesses and local communities'.

Our inquiry seeks to investigate how Wales can best benefit from rising government spending on defence, as well as to assess what contribution the defence manufacturing industry in Wales makes to the UK’s overall defence capabilities.

We’re looking to answer four key strategic questions:

  1. What contribution does the Welsh defence manufacturing industry make to the UK's overall defence capabilities?
  2. How important is the defence manufacturing industry in driving the economy in Wales?
  3. What are the challenges and opportunities facing the defence manufacturing industry in Wales today, what will they be in the future, and how can Wales benefit from them?
  4. What support is needed from government to enable the defence manufacturing industry in Wales to thrive?
