HC Deb 14 March 1995 vol 256 c470W
Mr. Chidgey

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what restrictions currently exist on the maximum working and driving hours for mobile crane operators.

Mr. Norris

Drivers of mobile cranes are subject to national rules on drivers' hours in part VI of the Transport Act 1968, as amended. These limit driving to 10 hours a day. The rules also limit drivers to 11 hours duty each day, but not on days when they do not drive or when they drive for less than four hours on each day of the week.
