• The 1972 Italian quota for commercial vehicles, which had recently been agreed, would meet only about half the genuine demand, estimated Mr John . Peyton; the Minister for Transport Industries, in the Commons.

Mr Peyton replied that he was well aware of the difficulties caused by these restrictions and he would continue to urge the need for liberalization at every suitable opportunity.
