§ Mrs. Peacockasked the Secretary of State for Transport in what proportion of cases tested by his Department in the past year the weight of truck loads using motorways complied with legislation.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleySeparate figures are not available for motorways, but in 1985 about 75 per cent. of all goods vehicles check-weighed were within the statutory limits. The checks are not random, so the figures overstate the proportion of overloading.
