My Department is also working collaboratively with industry to further invest in the sector, both by promoting its career opportunities through the Generation Logistics campaign, and in awarding £8million to improve lorry parking facilities. Additionally, we remain outward facing, sharing with and learning from international partners to ensure the UK freight network continues to protect our economic security.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 25/09/2023 09:43:38 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	tabling member printed	Viscount Waverley
	uin	HL8458
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2023 answer text <p>The Government reformed the HGV levy in February 2019 to incentivise vehicle operators to move towards newer, cleaner, Euro VI vehicles to reduce emissions from HGVs and improve air quality. Euro VI rates were reduced by up to 10% and rates for other vehicles increased by 20%, benefitting logistics businesses operating Euro VI HGVs.</p><p> </p><p>The levy was suspended in August 2020 to support the haulage sector and aid COVID-19 pandemic recovery efforts. The suspension provided the opportunity to consider further reforms to the levy. Following public consultation in 2022, a new reformed levy will come into effect in August 2023 with a revised structure and with rates on average around 20% lower than they were before the suspension.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation included analyses of the impacts of the changes, although no changes were proposed relating to retaining a differential between Euro VI and other vehicles.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 27/06/2023 10:44:31 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
