HC Deb 18 December 1984 vol 70 cc130-1W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what criteria he will adopt in deciding whether to retain the Greater London council's current night time lorry ban if, as proposed in his latest transport consultation paper, he takes over responsibility for the Archway road from the Greater London council.

Mrs. Chalker

Our policy is to encourage an support local lorry management measures where they are justified. Policy on this matter was set out in my Department's circular 2/82 "Lorry controls." It is against those criteria that we would judge the case for continuing the present night-time Archway lorry ban if, as proposed, the Secretary of State assumes responsibility for that part of the Al to which the current ban applies.
