HC Deb 28 January 1998 vol 305 c228W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to extend the Working Time Directive to transport workers. [25964]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We recently responded to the European Commission's White Paper on proposals for extending the working time Directive to the transport sector. We will consider specific proposals once these have been brought forward by the Commission.
