§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Transport why no explanatory memoranda are attached to S.R. & O. Nos. 402, 403 and 404 of 1946; and if he will state the effect of each Order.
§ Mr. Barnes:No explanatory memoranda were appended to these Regulations because it was considered that their purpose was adequately explained by the Regulations themselves and by the references to the subject matter of the earlier Regulations which were being amended. The effect of S.R. & O. Nos. 402 and 404 of 1946 is to continue until 1st January, 1947, the postponement of those requirements of the earlier Regulations which are set out in the recitals. The effect of S.R. & O. No. 403 of 1946 is to add to the exceptions to the application of the earlier Regulations the classes of vehicles described.
