HC Deb 03 June 1981 vol 5 c374W
47. Mr. Stoddart

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received concerning exemptions from the tachograph regulations.

Mr. Fowler

The road transport industry has generally accepted the tachograph. I have received representations from owners of vehicles outside the mainstream of the industry concerning exemptions, but, as my hon. and learned Friend the Under-Secretary of State told the hon. Member on 29 April [Vol. 3, c. 415.], the United Kingdom has already taken advantage of all exemptions permitted by the Community regulations. We shall, however, continue to explore the scope for further exemptions.
