answer text <p>Operation Stack is a multi-agency approach designed to reduce traffic disruption resulting from issues affecting the cross-Channel crossings. The effects of its implementation are unique to the individual circumstances and duration of its deployment, and so no reliable assessment of the general effects of Operation Stack can be undertaken in advance.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has not undertaken a formal assessment. While the Government acknowledges that any changes to arrangements for EU workers will be a factor in the availability of skilled staff for road haulage, it is not the only factor. As noted in the Government’s response to the Transport Committee’s report on skills and workforce planning in the road haulage sector, there are encouraging signs. For example there were about 10,000 more HGV driving test passes in 2015/16 compared to two years before, in response to the higher demand for HGV drivers and the shortages. In addition the industry has developed a new Trailblazer Apprenticeship standard for HGV drivers to be funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.</p> more like this
