HC Deb 21 June 1978 vol 952 cc215-6W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations have been received from the paper industry with regard to the draft Drivers' Hours (Harmonisation with Community Rules) Regulations 1978; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. William Rodgers

The British Paper and Board Industry Federation has written to my Department regretting the proposal to retain British duty limits in conjunction with EEC limits on driving time. The reply has noted the federation's views but referred to the recognised social benefit of duty limits.
