HC Deb 01 December 1971 vol 827 c113W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will consider regulations restricting the passage on certain busy public highways of vehicles over a specified capacity and size, such as tank transporters, in order to avoid congestion at peak hours and during busy holiday periods.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Traffic authorities already have powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act, 1967, to make orders for this purpose.
