Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 28 May (HL4351), what estimate they have made of the effect of any increase in the number of deliveries during the COVID-19 lockdown on traffic statistics.

The Department has been producing and monitoring daily road traffic figures during the COVID-19 lockdown period. These daily road traffic figures are published on the Gov.uk website.

These figures have seen differing trends for commercial and private traffic. However, it is not possible to infer the purpose of journeys, such as increased deliveries, from the daily road traffic series.
