The below Parliamentary question was asked by Christopher Chope on 2014-06-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the EU Roadworthiness Directive on the owners of historic vehicles in the UK.

Stephen Hammond

The Department will shortly start seeking views and evidence from interested organisations, individuals and the devolved administrations on the best way to implement the new rules in Directive 2014/45/EU relating to historic vehicles. We will seek to minimise burdens while supporting road safety. Any changes need not come in to force in domestic legislation until May 2018.
