HC Deb 17 June 1976 vol 913 c226W
23. Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider revising present road taxation so that operations of heavy lorries will fully pay for roads and road maintenance in direct proportion to the wear and tear which they impose.

Mr. Denzil Davies

The Consultation Document on Transport Policy makes it clear that the Government are considering such a proposal.
