Motorhomes: Driving Licences

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 29 January 2026UIN 108044

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of allowing holders of a UK Category B driving licence to drive motorhomes with a maximum mass of 4,250kg.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department has not yet made an assessment of the potential merits of allowing holders of a Category B driving licence to drive motorhomes with a maximum mass of up to 4,250kg. I acknowledge that this change is within the EU 4th Driving Licence Directive and the Department is considering whether to apply similar measures within Great Britain.
