The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to update the document entitled Future of Freight: a long-term plan.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The cross-modal freight sector is vital for the UK's economic prosperity, security, and well-being. An efficient logistics sector supports all other sectors of the economy and facilitates international trade through import, export, and market access.

We do not plan to update the previous ‘Future of Freight: a long-term plan’ document, but the Government is committed to working with the sector and will set out its concrete next steps in this area as soon as possible.
