Heavy Goods Vehicles (Loads)

HC Deb 26 October 1967 vol 751 cc566-7W

Mr. Anderson

asked the Minister of Transport if she will strengthen the safety regulations concerning the securing of loads on lorries, particularly concerning the size of ropes and the type of lorry bed fastenings to carry circular loads.

Mr. Carmichael

No. We consider that the general terms of Regulation 75 of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations, 1966 adequately cover all aspects of the safe loading of road vehicles.
