Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will list, for each of the past 10 years, the number of non-United Kingdom registered lorries which entered the United Kingdom.

Viscount Goschen

Figures are not available for the numbers of non-United Kingdom registered lorries entering the United Kingdom, as no counts exist of traffic crossing the Irish land boundary. However, the information requested is available for lorries leaving Great Britain. The figures are as follows:
