HC Deb 13 December 1967 vol 756 c149W
101. Mr. Doig

asked the Minister of Transport if she will list all the places with a population of 5,000 or more in the area to be served by the heavy goods vehicle testing station which she proposes to site at Perth.

Mr. Swingler:

It is expected that goods vehicle operators in the following places, shown in the 1966 Annual Estimates of the Population of Scotland and published by the Registrar General, Scotland, as having populations of 5,000 or more, will normally have their vehicles inspected at the testing station to be built at Perth.

  • Dundee
  • Buckhaven and Methil
  • Cupar
  • Leven
  • St. Andrews
  • Perth
  • Blairgowrie and Rattray
  • Crieff
  • Glenrothes.

In addition, some operators in the following places may elect to send their vehicles to Perth instead of to the station at Livingston.

  • Dunfermline
  • Kirkcaldy
  • Burntisland
  • Cowdenbeath
  • Lochgelly
  • Alloa.
