Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate she has made of the cost to SME hauliers of prices set by major lorry manufacturers.

Ensuring that consumers and SMEs are only required to pay fair prices is of the utmost importance and is a key feature of truly competitive markets. The UK has a robust competition enforcement landscape to ensure that this is achieved, both through public enforcement by the Competition and Markets Authority and private enforcement routes through litigation.
