Driving Licences
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has assessed the potential impact of Category C1 driving licence requirements on congestion and vehicle emissions.
Answered by Keir Mather
The department has not made an assessment of the potential impact of Category C1 driving licence requirements on congestion and vehicle emissions.
Category C1 entitlement relates to the licensing of drivers of vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and up to 7.5 tonnes.
The department considers that congestion and vehicle emissions are primarily affected by the number, type and use of vehicles on the road, rather than the licensing entitlement itself.
