§ Mr. Wallaceasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the estimated cost of work to be undertaken to strengthen bridges to carry 38 tonne lorries.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyA general statement on the cost of remedial action is set out in the Government's expenditure plans 1987–88 to 1989–90, volume 11, part 3.8, paragraph 49. It is not possible to relate this cost to individual HGVs as single axles and groups of axles govern the loading for the short span range.
