were as valid now as they were when the Bill was originally produced, continued Lord Mowbray. Conversations had been continuously held with the unions on this matter and he did not really believe they were as much against the tachograph as so many people would have us believe.
Dealing with the tachograph Lord Lucas of Chilworth said it was quite unfair to have subjected an• industry five months ago to an agreed programtne, by the introduction of legislation. This would involve it in quite a lot of expense to bring the industry by 1976
nearer to EEC requirements, for which a number of people had made their plans and committed some expenditure, only for that industry to find that the matter was to be withdrawn and made the subject of further review.
0 licences
Lord Lucas asked Ministers to remind themselves about earlier discussions on the granting of operators' licences and the regulations surrounding the suspension and revocation of those licences. Then, when the Bill was in Committee they could deal with the whole business of operators' licences — not only how operators started in .business, but how they might be allowed to continue in business fairly.
He would seek at the appropriate stage to make changes so far as this was concerned.
Replying for the Government, Lord Garnsworthy promised that everything that had been said would be studied very closely.
The Government did not have a closed mind, and he would draw the attention of the Transport Minister to What had been said.
The Bill was approved without a division, and will now be discussed in detail.
