Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the judgement of the European Court of Justice on Damijan Vnuk v Zavarovalnica Triglav, whether he plans to incorporate into UK law any changes to the EU European Motor Insurance Directive on motor insurance in relation to (a) public roads and (b) private property for (i) ride-on lawnmowers, (ii) golf carts, (iii) tractors and (iv) motor sport activities; and if he will make a statement.

The issue of the Vnuk judgement on motor insurance in the UK is an important one. We understand the implications on motor sports, motorists and other road users, and the concerns raised by the insurance industry. During the transition period, EU law continues to apply to the UK through the EU Withdrawal Act and options for after that period will be for Government to decide.
