Road Safety Bill [HL]

I listened carefully to the Minister’s response. I am sorry to say that she did not produce a single argument why serial numbered inspection reports should not be required. Of course it is not something that you would want to put into regulations and you certainly would not want it in primary legislation, but, surely, it is something that the traffic commissioners should be regularly asking for when they identify a failing operator. I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with the Minister’s response and I shall certainly be returning to this matter at a later stage in the Bill. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 38 [Disclosure to foreign authorities of licensing and registration information]: On Question, Whether Clause 38 shall stand part of the Bill?
