What the petition asks
Government should add a Cat C entitlement to all Cat D licence holders.
The coach industry is at a standstill due to COVID 19 & the LGV industry is calling for more drivers. The 2 vehicle types are very similar & this would ease the strain on the delivery network & amount of people out of work.

the government have the power to transfer the licence entitlement. The benefit would be to get staff laid off into work in the haulage industry in a time of need.
