HC Deb 11 November 1969 vol 791 c54W
60. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Minister of Transport what is his Department's policy on the use of the outside lane in motorways; and whether lorries, vans and motor buses are entitled under regulations to use that lane in other than emergency conditions.

Mr. Bob Brown

Goods vehicles of over 3 tons unladen weight and any vehicles drawing a trailer are excluded by Motorway Regulations from the outside lane of 3 lane motorways. This ban does not apply to motor buses.
