HC Deb 16 July 1971 vol 821 c184W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he has made in his consideration of raising the maximum gross vehicle weight of heavy goods vehicles so that when Great Britain enters the Common Market British road hauliers may compete on equal terms with Common Market road hauliers.

Mr. Peyton

I have no present plans to raise gross vehicle weights, but I am considering the implications of proposals made on this subject by the E.E.C. Commission.
