Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will conduct an impact assessment for increasing HGV speed limits on dual carriageway roads in the same format as the the impact assessment for increasing HGV speed limits on single carriageway roads.

The Department for Transport published an impact assessment as part of the public consultation about examining the speed limit for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) over 7.5 tonnes on dual carriageway roads, which closed on 5 September 2014 (see https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/336308/consultation-impact-assessment.pdf). It is in the standard format, as is the impact assessment for single carriageways.
