HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 c342W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to complete and to publish his plans for a network of statutorily designed lorry routes; and approximately when he expects the scheme to be introduced.

Mr. Peyton

I have at present no proposals for statutorily designated lorry routes. My present advice is that lorries should be routed on to the primary network avoiding sensitive areas where possible.

Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress is being made under his policy for the establishment of lorry parks; and if he will publish a list of where such parks have been or are to be established in 1973.

Mr. Peyton

Sites for the national network are being identified on a regional basis. Tenders for development of the first site to be acquired by the Department will be invited shortly.
