‘We are acting now but the industries must also play their part, with working conditions continuing to improve and the deserved salary increases continuing to be maintained in order for companies to retain new drivers.
The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated a global shortage of lorry drivers, although there have been long-term issues in the UK with labour numbers amid an ageing workforce, low wages and poor truck stop conditions. Officials said the Government continued to support solving the high vacancy rate through improved testing and hiring, with better pay, working conditions and diversity.Another long-term measure to turn the situation around will see the Department for Education plough up to £10million into creating new ‘skills bootcamps’ to train up to 3,000 more people to become HGV drivers.
And what about their own Christmas's? Have you thought of that? Huh?
Does that include the elves as well as Santa?

Gammons must hate the fact that more foreign workers will be entering the country even after they voted Brexit 🤣
Tell them before they come, not to depend on satnav and give them proper road maps! They could probably retire after, seeing what pay they are being offered.🤔🥳
Either give them permanent visas or leave them alone to build a life for themselves some where else; where essential workers are valued.
'this vehicle is reversing'
Oh what the hell is going on with this country
Why do brexit?
Lol.
Well that’s a surprise 🙄 create a fake panic then let cheap labour in to fix it 🤷♂️
But if all the shortages aren’t caused by BREXIT, why is BRITGOV allowing all these Visas?
Why does Christmas always need saving under the Tories?
Last year most of the foreign lorry drivers got stuck in the uk for Christmas, thanks to the government’s diabolical covid testing policy !! Why would they risk being stuck here again.
Band Aid 2021. Thank you world for saving Britain.
Er how long will that all take ?
Good hgv drivers are like rocking horse shit across Europe, good luck finding 5000 of them to come and work like dogs in a industry that will treat them like shit.!!
Dear foreign workers, sod off. Oh wait! I can't get petrol or turkeys. COME BACK! But just temporarily. This country is a complete bin fire. Just ashes really.
Because telling them to bugger off by Christmas Eve is the Christmas Rees Mogg imagines him telling all the poor to do
Moral of the story BrexitHasFailed
Is this your latest bit of fear mongering? Prison and fines for so called journalists who instigate terror and panic with their lies.
