Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Estimates day on Road Users (Taxes and Charges).
Road Users (Taxes and Charges)
The hon. Gentleman makes an important point. The evidence from the Freight Transport Association is that the costs of operating a 40-tonne articulated vehicle are 8 per cent. higher in Great Britain than in our near continental neighbours, and 21 per cent. higher than in east European countries, whose carriers now regularly use the UK road network for that reason.
