HC Deb 20 February 1973 vol 851 c69W
Mr. Simeons

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the action taken to check the loads on foreign vehicles on return journeys after delivering goods in the United Kingdom, including the number found to be overweight, since 1st September 1972.

Mr. Peyton

Foreign vehicles travelling to ports on return journeys are subject to the same enforcement checks as British vehicles. Separate figures of offending vehicles caught in this way are not available.
