HC Deb 24 January 1968 vol 757 cc112-3W
67. Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, what representations he has received, and from whom, regarding the probable effect of the Transport Bill upon the agricultural industry; what form they took; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. John Mackie

The National Farmers' Union and others concerned in agriculture have made representations about certain provisions in the Transport Bill. These refer to the difficulties which it is feared that the new legislation will cause for the industry and to increased cost. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport will consider all the points raised before detailed regulations are made.
