§ Mr. Squireasked the Secretary of State for Transport, further to his answer to the hon. Member for Woolwich (Mr. Cartwright) on 21 November, Official Report, column 361, what steps he is taking to minimise the period between the making of the regulations on speed limiters for coaches and their operative date.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyWhen we consult interested parties on the draft regulations early next year, we shall seek their views on the earliest dates that seem practically possible, bearing in mind the need to spread the work of installing speed limiters over a reasonable period.
