How ready is the Department for Transport for Brexit in
whichever form it takes? What access arrangements will the
Government seek for road hauliers and passenger
transport? Which old bilateral agreements might be brought
back into force in the event of a no deal Brexit?
The House of Lords EU Internal
Market Sub-Committee will question Minister for Transport
Chris Grayling MP at an
evidence session on Wednesday 14
November, as part
of its inquiry into the
impact of Brexit on UK-EU road
transport.
  
The session will start at 10.15am on Wednesday 14
November. Questions are likely to
include:  
-
If the UK and the EU reach a deal, what can we
expect on potential future UK-EU transport arrangements
from the Political Declaration?
-
Which old bilateral agreements on international
haulage could be used in a no deal
scenario?
-
Has the Government identified areas where it
would be beneficial for the UK to diverge from EU rail
standards?
-
Is the Government exploring options for a
bilateral arrangement with Ireland on passenger transport
by road – either as part of the planned
bilateral rail agreement, or
separately?
-
What opportunities does Brexit present to boost
the UK’s maritime sector?
-
How will Brexit affect the UK’s ability to
influence vehicle standards?
The session will take place in Committee
