HC Deb 23 June 1988 vol 135 c631W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what decisions were taken at his meeting with European transport ministers on 21 and 22 June in regard to proposed changes to European regulations concerning weights and dimensions of certain road vehicles; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State insisted that the existing derogation on drive axle weights should cover other vehicles. No decisions were made on this or other weights and dimensions issues.
