HC Deb 03 May 1978 vol 949 cc159-60W
Mr. Mather

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the sites for the extraction of chalk for the building of the M25 in Surrey; and upon what routes the haulage of chalk by heavy lorries will take place.

Mr. Horam

The sources and choice of imported materials are normally matters for the successful tenderer to determine within the terms of the contract and of any conditions imposed by the planning authority. It is usual for restrictions to be placed on the use of some routes by contractor's heavy lorries, particularly those through town centres, and these will be discussed with the highway authorities concerned.
