Freight

Asked by Greg SmithConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 17 June 2026UIN 2375

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when her Department plans to publish its new plan for freight.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Government is committed to supporting a strong and resilient freight and logistics sector that enables economic growth across the UK. My Department is working closely with industry and the Freight Council to develop a new freight plan which reflects the sector’s priorities and delivers tangible outcomes.

Given the global context and supply chain pressures facing the sector, we will revisit this position in autumn to ensure the plan remains aligned with wider Government priorities and reflects the sector’s current realities.
