HC Deb 13 October 1976 vol 917 c121W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he will implement EEC Regulation 1463/70 requiring the use of tachographs on newly registered lorries and those carrying dangerous loads.

Mr. William Rodgers

I shall be in a position to form a view as soon as I have been able to hold full discussions with the road transport industry.

Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what evidence he has that tachographs contribute to road safety when regularly used in lorries.

Mr. William Rodgers

I understand that some other EEC countries have evidence to suggest that tachographs do contribute to road safety but this remains an area for consideration in this country.
