§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in order to allow adequate forward planning by United Kingdom truck manufacturers, he will announce his proposals for the upper tonnage limit for lorries.
§ Mr. David HowellI hope to make a further statement shortly about the Government's proposals on a wide range of issues affecting heavy lorries, not just on weight limits. I recognise that any uncertainty about weight limits acts against the interests of United Kingdom lorry and trailer manufacturers.
