HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 cc210-1W
Mr. Mapp

asked the Minister of Transport why an abnormal load 16 feet high, 14 feet wide and 140 feet long weighing 120 tons from Penrith to Port Talbot in November last was routed via Huddersfield and Oldham; and how much extra major road mileage was involved and which large towns were affected by this routing.

Mr. Bob Brown

My right hon. Friend did not authorise the use of the route referred to. Inquiries to identify the load are being pursued and I will write to my hon. Friend.
