Logistics UK’s view on this issue

The Government has a central role to play in creating genuine modal choice for industry, allowing it to move freight by the most efficient mode of transport. However, this needs to be achieved by helping each mode to fulfil its market potential, rather than by creating constraints through artificially raising costs or limiting capacity.
