Heavy Vehicles (Restrictions)

HC Deb 29 January 1971 vol 810 c216W

Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will place restrictions on heavy vehicles using urban and country roads.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

This is a matter for the judgment of the local authorities concerned. They have regulatory powers for the purpose. My right hon. Friend announced on 16th December that no increase in the 32-ton limit for heavy lorries is to be allowed.—[Vol. 808, c. 350.]
