There were more than 2,200 responses, including many from users and owners of historic vehicles.

A final validated impact assessment will be published along with the consultation response summary.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 12/07/2017 11:43:08 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
