HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 c143W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will list the statutory provisions under which a charge of £1.25 is levied for European journey permits for heavy goods vehicles.

Mr. Peyton

This is a charge intended to meet the costs of issuing the permits. I am looking into the question of the need, if any, for statutory authority.
