• A Cambridgeshire haulier has accused his local MP of apathy over the differing levels of road tax between the UK and the Continent.
Paul 0' Leary, director of Sovereign Road Freight, wrote to South-East Cambridgeshire MP James Paice to ask if he could "provide help in any way" on the problem, which sees UK hauliers face costs and restrictions that do not apply to their continental counterparts.
"He has not answered my queries at all on road tax and on lorry bans at the weekends, something eke that continental drivers do not experience here," says O'Leary.
