The situation is further complicated, says the FTA, as are so many other decisions, by the uncertainty of Britain's continued membership of the EEC and hence the continued validity of the regulations.
The FTA has made representations to the Government that the whole matter needs fundamental reappraisal and is engaged in discussions with senior officials. The Association will be seeking an early meeting with the new Transport Minister after the General Election.
