I am currently considering a departmental report on whether to introduce 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 introduce a statutory height restriction for vehicles, the draft regulations to provide for such a limit will be sent to the European Commission for consideration and for referral to other member states in accordance with the technical standards and regulations directive, EU Directive 98/34.
