Traffic Congestion
TO WEIGH all laden vehicles entering this country would be too costly in manpower and would impose unacceptable congestion and delays in the major ports, Mr Neil Carmichael, Under-Secreary DoE, told the Commons last week.
The Department's examiners, in co-operation at some ports with county •trading standard officers, weighed about 15 per cent of incoming commercial vehicles at the main roll-on/ roll-off ferry ports.
Facilities for weighing at minor ports were being improved.
