HC Deb 10 December 1980 vol 995 c374W
17. Mr. Booth

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will have regard to the number of licences suspended as a result of public service vehicles having been found defective when making the regulations necessary for the operation of sections 19 to 23 of the Transport Act 1980.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Act itself lays down clearly the factors to which the traffic commissioners must have regard in granting or revoking public service vehicles operators' licences.
