Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the DVLA’s updated vehicle registration guidance on the UK’s (a) classic and (b) historic vehicle sector.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s new guidance supports historic vehicle keepers and the wider industry with clearer registration processes that reflect modern restoration and modification practices.

The feedback from the historic and classic vehicle sector is that the new policies reflect a pragmatic approach and satisfactorily address the major issues raised, alleviating many of the difficulties associated with the previous policies.
