HC Deb 18 July 1983 vol 46 c60W
Mr. David Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to make it mandatory for new heavy goods vehicles to be fitted with spray suppression equipment.

Mr. Tom King

We expect the British standard on spray suppression to be completed in the autumn. I shall then consult with manufacturers on the quickest practicable timetable for making new lorries conform with the standard.
