HC Deb 22 November 1982 vol 32 cc332-3W
Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals Her Majesty's Government have put forward since May 1979 for the better realisation of a common transport policy within the European Community.

Mr. David Howell

In the European Community the formal position is that it is for the Commission to propose transport measures for adoption by the Council of Ministers. This Government work actively in the Council to achieve progress towards a common transport policy, and has in particular encouraged progressive relaxation of constraints on transport.
