HC Deb 24 January 2000 vol 343 c126W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate he has made of the congestion costs of the movement of police-escorted wide loads between 7am and 7pm. [105543]

Mr. Hill

Delays caused by individual movements of police-escorted wide loads will vary significantly between circumstances depending on the time of travel and the route taken. I am not aware that any assessment has been made of the overall impact on the journey times of other road users.
