HC Deb 25 April 1988 vol 132 c70W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce regulations to ensure that ammunition lorries are escorted by trained Ministry of Defence Police or military personnel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The new regulations will provide for drivers of lorries carrying high explosive ammunition to be accompanied by a competent person. The arrangements for movement of military ammunition will be a matter for decision by the responsible authorities..
