P-WEIGHT articulated lorries still not paying their attriLed costs, according to Junior Rnsport Minister Kenneth irke.

-le told the House of Cornins last week that 32.5 tonne ir axle articulated lorries are ieting 90 per cent of their ,990m attributed costs by Ong £4,330m in the current ancial year.

'our-axle 30-tonne rigid lors fell similarly short by paying .110m towards their £4,400m ributed costs, but all other sses of hgv at least met their ributed costs, even if they did t.exceed them.

'or instance, 16.5 tonne threele rigid lorries paid three times ir attributable costs in tax, 3.5 5 tonners paid more than two d a half times their costs, and tonne three-axle rigids met ir attributable costs.
