uin	HL249
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2015 answer text <p>A comprehensive review of the effect on road wear of the heaviest goods vehicles permitted to run in normal operations was last done as part of the process before the regulations about maximum permissible Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) weights were last revised in 2000. The Road Vehicles (Authorised Weight) (Amendment) Regulations 2000 permitted the use of 44 tonne vehicles for general use. These vehicles have been permitted in Great Britain since 1 February 2001.</p><p> </p><p>Estimates of the road wear attributable to HGVs have been updated periodically, but not comprehensively, most recently in 2014 when road to rail and water mode shift grants were reviewed. A significant piece of research about the potential effects of longer and heavier lorries was published by the Department for Transport in 2008.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 11/06/2015 11:22:38 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
