Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the lack of requirement for a HGV specific licence for road construction purposes.
The Government has no plans to review the current vehicle licensing categories or driver entitlements for road construction vehicles.
Some construction vehicles can be driven by those holding a category B licence, however, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, including HGVs, require a Category C licence, road rollers Category G, and tracked vehicles Category H.
