Consultation description
The rules on the operator licensing (O-licensing) of lorries, coaches and buses are substantially based on an existing EC directive that sets out common rules that all EC member states must apply to their domestic O-licensing systems for hire or reward operators.

This regulation makes a number of changes to the rules that will affect how the requirements to apply for and hold a Hire or Reward (Standard) O-licence will operate in Great Britain.
