HC Deb 11 April 1962 vol 657 cc128-9W
53. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to make it an offence for any heavy goods vehicle not to use a designated bypass route that avoids busy urban centres.

Mr. Marples

Outside the London Traffic Area it is for the local authority in the first instance to make traffic regulation orders. So far orders have been made by two local authorities prohibiting heavy goods vehicles from driving through busy urban centres.
