The UK government is taking a number of steps to address the shortage of HGV drivers, amid concerns about deliveries of food, fuel, and other items in the run-up to Christmas.

It has introduced temporary visas for 5,000 lorry drivers to work in the UK, although only just over 20 of the 300 applications have been approved so far, according to Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden.

The shortage of HGV drivers is due to a combination of Covid, Brexit and other factors.

How serious has the problem become?

A Road Haulage Association (RHA) survey of its members estimates there is now a shortage of more than 100,000 qualified drivers in the UK.

That number includes thousands of drivers from European Union (EU) member states who were previously living and working in the UK.
