§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Minister of Transport what representations he has received from the Cornwall Sea Fisheries District concerning an exemption from the new drivers' hours rules for drivers 334W of fish lorries; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MurrayMy right hon. Friend was unable to agree to the request of the Cornish Sea Fisheries District that drivers of lorries carrying fish should be allowed to drive for 11 hours per day. But we have made regulations granting extensions to the permitted hours of duty, which should help fish hauliers.
