I am currently considering whether to reintroduce a statutory height restriction for vehicles and I hope to take a decision in the matter shortly.

In the event that it is decided to reintroduce a statutory height restriction for vehicles, it will be necessary to submit the draft regulations to the European Commission for consideration and for referral to other member states in accordance with the technical standards and regulations directive, Directive 98/34.
