Transport, Local Government and the Regions written question – answered at on 15 October 2001.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what assessment he has made of the impact of the working time directive on the road haulage industry.
In March 1998, the Department of Trade and Industry published a regulatory assessment covering the costs and benefits of working time legislation. The assessment covered all sectors of employment in the UK, including excluded sectors such as the road haulage industry. A copy of the assessment was deposited in the Libraries of the House.
Since then, the Government have held regular meetings with both sides of industry to discuss the impact of the latest proposals on the haulage industry.
