§ 28. Mr. Buchananasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current shortfall in revenue collected in relation to allocated road costs for heavy goods vehicles.
§ Mr. William RodgersIn the coming year revenue from goods vehicles over 30 cwt. unladen is expected to exceed allocated road costs by about £65 million. This figure takes account of the fact that two groups of the heaviest vehicles—four-axled 30 and 32 tonners—are not wholly covering their costs.
