64. Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of lorries having their laden weight checked by his Department's officials were found to be overweight in 1970.

18.7 per cent. during the first six months of 1970; but examiners concentrate their checks on vehicles which look overloaded.
