To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to produce an environmental impact assessment on the potential additional lorry miles that may occur as a result of the weight restrictions on volumetric concrete mobile plants from 2028.

Following regulatory changes in 2017, a temporary regime was put in place to allow a limited number of volumetric concrete mixers (VCMs) to temporarily operate at higher than standard weights until 2028 at the latest. An impact assessment was undertaken at the time of the regulatory changes in 2017 and there are no plans to produce an additional environmental impact assessment.
