HC Deb 21 February 1968 vol 759 c116W
66. Mr. Doig

asked the Minister of Transport what representations she has received from the Dundee Chamber of Commerce about the siting of the heavy goods vehicle-testing station at Perth; and what reply she has sent.

Mr. Swingler

The Dundee Chamber of Commerce wrote to me asking for an auxiliary goods vehicle testing station to be sited in Dundee and enclosing letters from goods vehicles owners in the Dundee area. The majority of these said that they would prefer a testing station in Dundee.

I have replied to the effect that the number of vehicles represented by these owners were fewer than those which we took into account in considering the location of a testing station to cover this area and that we saw no reason to amend the decision referred to in the answer given on 20th December, 1967.
