HC Deb 03 July 1995 vol 263 c48W
24. Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will consider changing the law so that parish councils can request notification of all heavy good vehicle operators' licence applications made in their locality. [30141]

Mr. Norris

There is no need to change the law.

Parish councils are already able to find out about applications for operator licences by subscribing to a licensing authority's fortnightly publication "Applications and Decisions". This is published by each traffic area office and gives details of all applications for operator licences made in that area.
