HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 c304W
41. Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received about the increasing use of rural roads in Kent by heavy container lorries, car transporters and other vehicles in connection with the use of originally agricultural premises for general commercial purposes; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Peyton

My right hon. Friend has received a petition over one particular case but local authorities already have adequate powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act, 1967, to restrict classes of vehicles from using their roads.
