Purpose of the consultation
The Economy,
Trade and Rural Affairs Committee gathered views on The HGV Driver
Shortage and Supply Chain Issues.
A shortage of hauliers and related issues with logistics
have led to businesses across Wales and the UK reporting difficulties in moving
goods. The impact of this is reported to have resulted in growing concerns
regarding the delivery of food, fuel and other items in the run-up to Christmas
2022.
The Senedd’s Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee
undertook an inquiry into the HGV drivers shortage. The Committee asked for
stakeholder views on the actions taken to date, as well as what additional
measures are still needed by the UK and Welsh governments to support and
alleviate issues faced by the sector and wider businesses.
The Committee was particularly interested in what actions
could be taken in devolved areas so as to ensure maximum impact from the
outputs of the Committee’s inquiry findings and recommendations.
The Committee welcomed views on any or all of the issues
covered in the terms of reference, and in particular on the following
questions:
>>>>
>>>To outline the current issues facing your
sector/business/organisation
>>>To outline the effectiveness of measures that
have been put in place by the UK and Welsh Governments to alleviate the
shortage of hauliers and its associated impacts
>>>What additional measures should the UK and Welsh
Governments introduce in order to support the sector
>>>What impact the shortage of HGV drivers will
have on consumers and businesses in Wales
<<<
The deadline for submissions to this inquiry was 22
November 2021.
For clarity, there was no designated form for submissions.
