Her Majesty's Customs and Excise does not issue permits to Transport International Routier.

Mr. Terlezki

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many Transport International Routier licences were taken up in 1970 to 1975, 1975 to 1980 and 1980 to 1985 by the eastern bloc countries and the Soviet Union; and if he will make a statement.

TIR carnets for eastern bloc countries are issued by guarantee associations approved in the individual countries concerned. Her Majesty's Customs and Excise has no readily available statistics.
