HC Deb 27 July 1977 vol 936 c262W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has for examining the overall cost-effectiveness of check weighing of vehicles.

Mr. Horam

We are satisfied that check weighing is essential in the interests of road safety, environmental protection and reduction of road maintenance costs, but the benefits cannot be adequately quantified for cost/benefit analysis.
