HC Deb 18 March 1976 vol 907 c637W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has had regarding the harassment of British lorry drivers driving to and through Turkey; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rowlands

My right hon. Friend has had no reports of harassment. We are aware, however, that some drivers have experienced difficulty because of ignorance of local law and customs requirements. Our consuls do what they can to help, but trouble is best avoided by proper briefing and thorough planning before drivers set out from this country.
