HC Deb 14 December 1988 vol 143 c563W
Mr. Robert Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps have been taken to ensure that the new maximum width of refrigerated vehicles will be enabled to pass each other with safety on class A roads from January 1989.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The increase in permitted width of refrigerated vehicles—of 2 cm—is too small to require particular steps to be taken to enable them to pass safely on class A roads.
