Ending or extending temporary exemptions to road haulage cabotage

We are consulting on the potential for continuing or ending the existing flexibility in road cabotage rules for foreign hauliers.

We are specifically seeking views and evidence about:

• whether the additional cabotage rights – which allow non-UK hauliers to carry out unlimited cabotage within a 14-day period – should continue
• information on the uptake of cabotage rights since 28 October 2021, including uptake by particular sectors
• the positive and negative effects of the extension of cabotage rights to date

Currently, as per the outcome of the temporary extension cabotage consultation of 2021, until 30 April 2022, the rules allow unlimited cabotage movements within Great Britain for up to 14 days after entry to the United Kingdom on a laden international journey.
