HC Deb 06 February 1978 vol 943 c389W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why the Road Traffic Statutory Instrument, 1978, No. 7 although made under the European Communities Act 1972, was not made to extend to Northern Ireland.

Mr. William Rodgers

The European Communities (Designation) No. 2 Order 1975 designates any Department of Northern Ireland or its head as the appropriate authority for implementing, under the European Communities Act 1972, EEC legislation on the subject of drivers' hours.
