HC Deb 12 May 1982 vol 23 c284W
32. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will estimate the date on which he expects that the heaviest lorries proposed to be introduced will meet their full track costs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eyre

The Government's approach to the taxation of any new heavier lorries that Parliament might approve will be announced as part of our overall strategy for controlling heavy lorries. Our general policy is that all classes of lorry should at least meet their road costs.
