Mr. David Marshall
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list in the Official Report all the organisations which are in receipt of the current European Economic Community quota of multilateral authorisations for heavy goods vehicles in each traffic area, and if he will also list the number of authorisations held by each organisation.
Mr. Peter Bottomley
The list, by county and number of operators, follows. The Department's policy is not to name individual firms, for reasons of commercial confidentiality. Following the successful Council meeting in Brussels on 20–21 June, hauliers have been invited to apply for the additional 238 permits available.
