HC Deb 15 June 1965 vol 714 cc56-7W
Mr. A. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport what proportion of licensed road transport vehicles are operated by British Road Services; and what proportion of licensed road transport vehicles found to be defective in roadside spot-checks during 1964 were operated by British Road Services.

Mr. Tom Fraser

About 6 per cent. of A and B licensed vehicles and about 1 per cent. of all goods vehicles with a carrier's licence are operated by British Road Services. I am not able to answer the second part of the Question from the records available without a disproportionate amount of work.
