Proceeding contribution from Robert Goodwill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 May 2018. It occurred during Debate on bill on Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill [Lords].
Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill [Lords]
The hon. Gentleman says, rather surprisingly, that this Government have done nothing for the road haulage industry. Is he not aware that the HGV levy brought in to level the playing field between foreign and UK hauliers brought in £96 million in the first two years after it was introduced in 2014, and that the previous coalition Government increased the speed limit on single-carriageway roads from 40 mph to 50 mph, which made a great contribution to improving logistical efficiency?
