HC Deb 29 March 1968 vol 761 c350W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Minister of Transport what representations she has received against the Transport Bill from drivers in the road haulage industry; and what reply she has sent.

Mr. Carmichael

Drivers have written about the proposed changes in carriers licensing and the reductions in drivers' hours. We have explained in reply how the new measure will improve road safety and give the country a better service from all forms of transport, without putting drivers' jobs or earnings at risk.
