HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 c225W
60. Mr. Albert Evans

asked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to restrict the use of, and so reduce the damage to, unclassified and minor roads by heavy vehicles.

72. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will seek powers to enable him to close B class roads to heavy vehicles when it is in the interest of safety to do so, having regard to the accident rate on some B roads.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Local authorities already have powers to prohibit or restrict the use of roads, other than trunk roads, by heavy vehicles.
