§ Mr. Douglas Hoggasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to bring into force the provisions of the Carriage of Passengers by Road Act 1974.
§ Mr. FowlerThe Carriage of Passengers by Road Act 1974 enables the United Kingdom to accede to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Passengers and Luggage by Road, a convention of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Only two countries—Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia—have acceded as yet, and since the convention does not come into force until at least five countries have acceded, the Act has not been brought into operation.
