§ 60. Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Minister of Transport what representations he has received as to the effect of introducing tachographs for coaches carrying more than 15 passengers used by private groups such as (a) those involved in regular cultural activities or sporting events, (b) youth jazz bands and other youth activities and (c) elderly and disabled people.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeDuring the past year about 15 bodies have made representations on the effect of the tachograph regulation (1463/70/EEC) on the passenger vehicles they use for cultural or social activities. Whilst in sympathy, my right hon. Friend has explained, in answer to the hon. Member on 24 November, that he has no power to make further exemptions from the Community regulation.
