HC Deb 20 July 1973 vol 860 c231W
Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of the number of roads through country towns and villages which are unsuitable for heavy vehicles, which damage ancient buildings and other structures close to which they pass, whether he will seek powers to prohibit the use of such loads by such vehicles.

Mr. Peyton

Local authorities already have powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1967.
