>But strongly criticising the new proposals, the UK Road Haulage Association (RHA) argued they would have the opposite effect, undercutting UK hauliers.
>”We will have thousands of lorries operating in the UK paying no tax, no fuel duty, drivers below min wage. I get it’s a crisis, but this is the worst option,” the RHA’s Policy Director Duncan Buchanan said on Twitter.
>The industry body has called on the government to amend rules requiring drivers to complete at least 35 hours training every five years, which it argues has deterred UK drivers who have left the profession from returning.
