HC Deb 16 March 1932 vol 263 cc288-90W
Viscount LYMINGTON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that heavy motor cars propelled by internal combustion engines having not more than four wheels, but having a total axle load of 15 tons, are being put on the road; and if he will take steps to have the law enforced which prohibits such motor cars exceeding 12 tons total weight?

Mr. PYBUS

Express provision is made in Section 27 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, for weighing vehicles on their journeys. I am giving close attention to the desirability of taking further steps to see that the law on this subject is not ignored.
