The Department’s consultation on how Regulation 1071/2009 applies to permits under the Transport Act 1985 has now closed and over 500 responses have been received. The Department will analyse the responses fully and provide a summary response before summer recess. The consultation included a potential exemption relating to operators that may have minimal impact owing to the short distances involved.
