§ BARONESS BURTON OF COVENTRYMy Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper.
§ [The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any knowledge of any accidents caused by the exercise by weights and measures inspectors of their power to stop coal lorries on the highway and, if so, whether they will give statistics of all such accidents within the last five years.]
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT (LORD CHESHAM)My Lords, the available accident statistics do not show whether any accidents have been caused in this way.
§ BARONESS BURTON OF COVENTRYMy Lords, I thank the noble Lord.
