HC Deb 01 February 1968 vol 757 cc382-3W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport how many questionnaires have been sent out as part of the Survey of Roads Goods Transport, as authorised in the Statistics of Trade Act, 1947; and what has been the total cost involved to date in preparing this survey.

Mr. Carmichael

Approximately 57,000 of which some 20,000 will be unproductive due to vehicles having been sold or scrapped; £38,000 including accommodation and other "overhead" costs.
