"HARRYING THE TRADE"
"
I SHOULD be sorry to leave the
impression that we are harrying the commercial carrying trade." This was stated in the House of Commons last week by Mr. G. R. H. Nugent, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport, when Mr. Ernest Davies asked whether persons convicted of a second offence against the drivers' hours and records regulations should not have their licences suspended, with revocation for subsequent offences.
Mr. Nugent said that penalties were best left in the hands of the Licensing Authorities.
Mr. Davies also learned that the results of a survey of road goods transport carried out a year ago would be published " in the course of the next month or so." Mr. Nugent denied that they were being held back because they were unfavourable to C-licensees.
