HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c77W
30. Mr. Gale

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent estimate his Department has made of the implications for London and London Regional Transport of the introduction of a ban on heavy lorries in London.

Mrs. Chalker

The general ban proposed by the GLC would be highly damaging to London. It has not yet revealed the full details of its latest proposals. The effects and workability of these will need to be fully assessed and the GLC will be required to justify any measures it wishes to introduce.
