§ Mr. SteenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the directives which have affected his Department in each of the past three years and(a) the legislation introduced as a result of the directives, (b) the legislation which goes beyond the minimum standards set out in the directives and (c) the clauses within each piece of legislation which amplify the minimum standards set out in the directives. [27080]
§ Mr. NorrisThe relevant directives are listed in the following table, along with the United kingdom legislation introduced as a result. In our view, in no case does the legislation go beyond the minimum standards required by the directive in question. It is intended that this should also be the case for legislation still in preparation.
