HC Deb 08 March 1972 vol 832 cc334-5W
107. Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions he proposes with the European Commission in Brussels about transport infrastructure and equipment purchase grants.

Mr. Peyton

Grants to transport undertakings in this country falling within Regulation 1107/70 will be notified to the Commission in accordance with Community rules. Discussions will be held as and when necessary.

112. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed statement giving the restrictions which are placed upon freight movement within the countries of the European Economic Community, which Great Britain will have to operate if entry is obtained under present conditions.

Mr. Peyton

The road haulage quotas from which we suffer are applied by France, Germany and Italy bilaterally and not because of Community requirements.
