HC Deb 01 December 1982 vol 33 c194W
17. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied with progress made by the local authorities in banning heavy lorries from inadequate roads and unsuitable urban and rural environments.

Mr. Eyre

Many local authorities have made good use of their wide powers to control lorry routes, but more remains to be done, and I have urged all authorities to review the scope for further action.
