answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>Lorry drivers from the Republic of Ireland pay for the HGV Levy in the same ways as users from other countries. The levy can be paid online, at a number of official Point of Sale (PoS) locations, at driver self-serve facilities offered by some operators and through a number of booking agents. The majority of levy purchases are via the HGV Levy website.</p><p> </p><p>The overall compliance rate for foreign vehicles is high, according to figures collected by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency in Great Britain, at 95%. The Department for Transport has not produced equivalent compliance rates by country of origin, but there are indications that vehicles from Ireland in Great Britain have a very similar compliance rate compared to vehicles from other countries.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 17/09/2018 13:16:55 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text <p>In 2017-18, HGV levy revenue from non-UK hauliers was £50m. Of this, approximately £4m was from vehicles registered in the Republic of Ireland, £45m was from vehicles registered in other EU Member States, and £1m was from vehicles registered elsewhere. There were vehicles from all EU Member States paying the HGV levy during 2017-18.</p><p> </p><p>The HGV levy is enforced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Vehicles are stopped at the roadside and, if they have not paid the right levy, the vehicle is held until a fine of £300 is paid. The DVSA targets vehicles that are known not to have paid the levy, and it also checks for levy compliance of vehicles that are stopped for other reasons.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 26/07/2018 12:57:21 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration has been given to amending the DVLA guidance for persons with diabetes to allow for those who use flash glucose monitoring and any other new technology to measure glucose levels.
tabling member printed	Lord Morris of Aberavon
uin	HL5240
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2018 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) recognises that developments in this field are moving quickly and in January 2018, the specific reference to “blood glucose monitoring” was removed from the relevant regulations. This will potentially allow alternative methods of glucose monitoring to be accommodated in the future if it is deemed appropriate by expert medical opinion in the context of driving and maintaining road safety.</p><p>The DVLA is working closely with the Secretary of State for Transport’s Honorary Medical Advisory Panel on driving and diabetes mellitus to understand the potential impacts of allowing the use of alternative methods of glucose monitoring. This issue was discussed at the panel’s October meeting. The panel feels that there is currently insufficient evidence about the use of flash glucose monitoring devices in the context of driving to ensure road safety standards are maintained. The panel will continue to consider further evidence as it emerges.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/02/2018 13:36:53 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
