§ Mr. Aitkenasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to strengthen the regulations governing foreign heavy goods vehicles entering the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. David MitchellThe entry of such vehicles into Britain is governed by regulations made under the Transport Act 1968. Once in the United Kingdom they are generally subject to the same rules as United Kingdom vehicles except that they are not allowed to engage in domestic traffic. I have no plans for strengthening any regulations specifically relating to foreign vehicles.
