HC Deb 24 January 1980 vol 977 cc356-7W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Minister of Transport how many tachograph calibration centres there now are in England and Wales; and how many more it is planned to establish in the immediate future.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

There are 183 approved tachograph centres in England and Wales, and the Department is currently dealing with eight applications for approval. Many more applications will be coming forward shortly, and I expect to have approved 450 centres in Great Britain by the end of this year.
