§ Mr. Macleanasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the case which was tried at Lanark sheriff court, on 26th May, where the driver of a 60-feet tractor and trailer was admonished on a charge of careless driving; that the steersman on the trailer admitted that at certain corners it was impossible to prevent part of the vehicle being over the centre line; that the load which the vehicle had carried was stated to be an 80-ton ingot mould; and, as a vehicle of 60 feet with a load of 80 tons is too long and heavy for the public highway and bridges, what steps he will take to prevent such vehicles being used in future?
§ Captain WallaceMy attention had not been drawn to this case. I will make inquiries and write to the hon. Member.
