question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many ECMT permits are available in the current window for applications.
tabling member constituency	Easington
tabling member printed	Grahame Morris
uin	230671
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>ECMT permits are unlikely to be needed because an EU measure on basic road connectivity is about to be adopted which would allow for the majority of road haulage journeys currently undertaken by UK hauliers to continue during 2019 without the need for permits.</p><p> </p><p>The applications from the current ECMT window will be combined with the unsuccessful applications from the first window. For these applications, there are an additional 626 annual permits available. If the EU proposal passes and we only need permits for specific types of journey, we may not allocate all 626 and instead use them for the purposes of cross trade or transit to third countries.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/03/2019 11:20:33 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has opened the current window for ECMT permit applications at the request of the haulage industry. This is to allow operators whose vehicles are not Euro VI emissions-compliant to apply for ECMT permits, as they were excluded from the first window. It is not possible to say how many applications the DVSA will receive.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/03/2019 11:08:24 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>Like the UK, Ireland does not require visitors to hold an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Ireland, as long as they have their domestic driving licence. This continued recognition for visitors means that UK motorists visiting Ireland after exit day, including those crossing the border for work, will not have to purchase an IDP, irrespective of whether the UK leaves the EU with or without a deal.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 11/03/2019 15:57:32 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

uin	225596
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) permits to secure continued access to the EU are a small part of the solution. We are confident that hauliers will still be able to operate in the EU without an ECMT permit for the equivalents of most of the journeys they make now.</p><p>We secured additional ECMT permits at the ECMT Road Transport Group meeting of 4<sup>th</sup>/5<sup>th</sup> February, which includes 290 annual Euro 5 permits, 336 annual Euro 6 permits, 840 short term Euro 5 permits and 1152 short term euro 6 permits. This in an increase in ECMT permits of around 65%. We have been liaising with usual haulage stakeholders on the allocation of the additional permits.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 01/03/2019 13:06:08 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
