HC Deb 05 March 1984 vol 55 cc416-7W
Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in the light of recent industrial action by French lorry drivers, he will press in the Council of Transport Ministers for an immediate reduction in administrative formalities on frontiers between member states of the European Community.

Mr. Ridley

Yes. I pressed hard for the frontier facilitation directive which was adopted at the December 1983 meeting of the Council of Transport Ministers. I will be pressing for further advances at future meetings of the Council.
