Lorry Licensing Scheme Improved
Department for Transport Press Release
6 December 2006
The licensing system for operators of heavy goods vehicles and
public service vehicles will be streamlined and modernised,
Transport Minister Stephen Ladyman announced today. We want to
cut red tape for the road haulage and passenger transport
industries whilst maintaining safety standards. These proposals
will reduce administrative burdens associated with licensing and
build upon efficiency improvements already made by the Vehicle
and Operator Service Agency (VOSA).
