Dan, thank you. That's all from us. Now, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Good evening. A law has come into effect which | :00:08. | :00:10. | |

Government hasn't gone far dnough. Critics say more needs to be done to | :00:24. | :00:23. | |
Critics say more needs to bd done to help British haulage companies | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
compete against foreign firls. Crispin Rolfe joins us now from a | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
truck stop in Immingham. Crhspin, why has this law been introduced? | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
This is all about the Government trying to level things up for all of | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
these truck operators. Whether they are oversees all British run. The | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
British ones are paying for the upkeep of the British roads. The | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
overseas ones have not been doing so. But there is now a levy to even | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
things up. Your operator should have paid a road user levy. | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
Enforcing new regulations designed Enforcing new regulations designed | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
to help UK hauliers. This was one of many foreign lorries stopped near | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Immingham on the day new ch`rges came in for overseas drivers using | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
British roads. The new levy is paid by British and Foreign lorrx | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
drivers. It costs ?10 a day up to a maximum of a ?1,000 each ye`r. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
However, British drivers will be able to claim their money b`ck | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
through a reduced road tax. I think it will level the playing field | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
between foreign lorries that come to the country and not contributing | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
anything to the upkeep of the Mo `` road maintenance and I'm glad | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
anything to the upkeep of the Mo `` road maintenance and I'm gl`d that | :01:43. | :01:42. | |
road maintenance and I'm glad that the Government has introducdd | :01:43. | :01:43. | |
road maintenance and I'm gl`d that the Government has introduced this | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
earlier than what was thought possible. Among those caught today | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
were British drivers working for foreign companies. In this case, the | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Dutch firm had paid too little for the size of the lorry. We knew it | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
was coming, but it was only because we spoke to other drivers that I | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
knew that had started today. They've now been forced to return to the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Netherlands with a ?300 find. But one Hull haulier says the levy | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
one Hull haulier says the ldvy doesn't go far enough, pointing out | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
many foreign drivers save hundreds of pounds by filling up with cheaper | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
diesel on the continent. Whdn you diesel on the continent. Whdn you | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
are looking at ?200 per week difference in diesel cost, I | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
are looking at ?200 per week difference in diesel cost, H don't | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
think ?10 per day is really going to stop these guys wanting to come | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
over. And there were similar feelings from drivers at thhs | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Lincolnshire truck stop. We've got to pay all the car tax, road tax, | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
over there you have to pay `nd when over there you have to pay and when | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
you are here you have to pax. over there you have to pay `nd when | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
you are here you have to pay. They you are here you have to pax. They | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
are trying to shut the stable door. It is small fry in terms of revenue, | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
but I think it is the principle It is small fry in terms of revenue, | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
but I think it is the princhple that but I think it is the principle that | :02:45. | :02:44. | |
applies. It is the principld that applies. It is the principld that | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
the Government is willing to adopt this system and can consider it in | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
the future when it is looking at the tariffs it is charging. Whatever the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
view of this new levy, strict enforcement will continue ndar | :02:56. | :02:56. | |
view of this new levy, strict enforcement will continue near our | :02:57. | :02:56. | |
enforcement will continue ndar our ports with the Government hopeful | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
that it will level the playhng field for British hauliers. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
This does seem to be a point of principle, rather than raishng extra | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
principle, rather than raising extra money for the Treasury, mainly | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
because despite overseas lorries making 100,000 trips over hdre, 1.5 | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
making 100,000 trips over here, 1.5 million journeys once they get here, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
they still have to raise an awful lot of money to touch the sides of a | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
lot of money to touch the shdes of a ?10 billion that the Government | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
needs by 2020 in order to rdpair the needs by 2020 in order to repair the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
