House of Lords
20 July 2018
The Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Act 2018 sets up two main schemes: a Haulage Permits System to regulate international road haulage into and out of the UK, and a Trailer Registration Scheme to record trailers used on UK roads. It also provides powers to make regulations and penalties to help enforce these schemes and support safer, well-run freight transport.
The bill has completed its passage through Parliament and received Royal Assent, becoming law.
In the Lords, the programme motion passed 273 votes to 168. The Conservative, DUP and Reform UK groups voted in favour; Labour and several opposition parties voted against.
