Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on pay and conditions in the haulage sector in the context of the shortage of HGV drivers.

The Government is taking action to increase the number of drivers able to enter the industry, it is for the sector to improve rates of retention.

We are working across government to address the concerns expressed about the provision, quality and value of lorry parking in the UK. We are looking at ways to increase the provision of high quality overnight lorry parking.
