Earl Attlee
My Lords, we discussed lorry road-user charging recently at Question Time. We are working on it and will announce on it in due course.
Lord Bradshaw
Can the Minister assure us that road safety will play a very prominent part in his consideration, because these lorries will not be confined to the motorway network? Will he please tell us, through the Library or however, how many prosecutions have been brought against HGVs—heavy goods vehicles—for contravening the weight restrictions on most of our roads?
