HC Deb 03 November 1987 vol 121 c645W
Mr. Thurnham

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will consider making anti-lock braking systems mandatory for petrol tanker road vehicles.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We are working to get the relevant European Community directives amended so that we can require anti-lock braking systems on all new heavy vehicles with trailers. That will include articulated petrol tanker vehicles.
