§ 37. Mr. Hornbyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will amend the law which prevents a farm tractor carrying a transport box or buck-rake from being driven on the roads under a £2 licence.
§ Mr. NugentAs a farm tractor with a £2 licence is allowed to make limited use of the roads for hauling a load on a trailer, we accept that there are arguments for allowing a tractor with a loaded transport box or buckrate a similar concession. We are considering the possibility of legislating to cover the point, but it is a complex and difficult one, and up to date we have not been able to find a satisfactory solution.
