Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 March 2026

Debate

Goods Vehicles (Testing, Drivers’ Hours and Tachographs etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

The Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland has said that it will monitor the implementation of these changes in Great Britain, but any decision to make similar changes in Northern Ireland will rest with the DfI Minister in Northern Ireland. Officials in the DfT and the DfI are working together to manage the changes for operators of GB zero-emission vans travelling between GB and Northern Ireland. The department will ensure that communications to operators are clear that the new requirements introduced within GB by these regulations do not apply in Northern Ireland. After considering these regulations, the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments did not issue a report or draw any issues to the attention of the House.
