question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 15 November (HL11194), what proposals they have to require the retrofitting of basic safety equipment, including sideguards, to heavy goods vehicles.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL11551
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>Most heavy goods vehicles are already required to be fitted with sideguards when new. The Department has previously considered legislating to require sideguards to be retrofitted to specific heavy goods vehicles, but an impact assessment determined that such a policy intervention would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Work is now focused on amending the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 to ensure that, where sideguards are required on new vehicles, they are retained and maintained throughout the vehicle’s working life. I anticipate these new proposals will be published during 2019.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 29/11/2018 15:48:48 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
