§ Lord Brabazon of Taraasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why it is necessary for military vehicles to travel in convoy on English trunk roads. [HL4187]
§ The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)The MoD has a policy of moving military vehicles in convoys because experience has shown that this optimises the use of roads while minimising the impact of military vehicles on other road users, particularly if the vehicles are carrying classified or outsize loads requiring police and/or military escort.
