§ 50. Mr. HOLDSWORTHasked the Minister of Transport whether, seeing 1145 that he made an order in November, 1934, varying the provisions of section 19 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, in relation to the hours of drivers of certain goods vehicles used under A and B licences, but subsequently decided not to make a similar order in relation to the hours of the drivers of goods vehicles used under C licences, he will now say what the grounds are for the distinction between the hours of drivers of vehicles used under A and B licences on the one hand and under C licences on the other hand?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI do not feel justified in extending further the scope of the Order referred to to include a very large number of persons engaged in a variety of trades and industries and in a diversity of occupation which is not necessarily confined to driving; to do so would in my view be departing very far from the principle of section 19 of the Act of 1930.
