HC Deb 18 May 2000 vol 350 c254W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will introduce a night-time ban on the movement of all heavy goods vehicles in residential areas. [122337]

Mr. Hill

Responsibility for traffic management on local roads, including the question of whether or not to introduce a night-time ban on lorries in residential areas, is entirely a matter for the local traffic authority for the area concerned.
