HC Deb 11 December 1974 vol 883 cc159-60W
Mr. Sims

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has studied the report in the current issue of Road, a copy of which is in his possession, concerning the hazards caused on motorways by debris falling from lorries; and if he will introduce a regulation requiring goods-carrying vehicles to have their loads protected by securely fastened tarpaulins.

Mr. Carmichael

My right hon. Friend is examining the possibility of introducing more specific requirements for the security of lorry loads.
