HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c445W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Minister of Transport if he will draw to the attention of chief constables the vehicle construction and use regulation 97 requiring that a load shall at all times be secured, if necessary by some physical restraint other than its own weight, so that neither danger nor nuisance is caused.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I see no particular reason for a special circular. Many successful prosecutions have been obtained for infringement of this regulation and it is reasonable to believe that chief constables are aware of the requirements.
