Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on barriers to obtaining insurance for campervan conversions as a result of DVLA vehicle classification.

The issue of obtaining insurance for vehicles that have been converted for use as a motor caravan has been raised with the stakeholders in the insurance industry. They have confirmed that there are insurance companies which will insure vans or other vehicles that have undergone this type of conversion. In some cases, customers may need to provide evidence to an insurer that the conversion work has been carried out to a professional standard.
