Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].


Road Safety Bill [Lords]

There are no such measures in the Bill, but we are working with other European Governments to deal with that problem. It is important that drivers of lorries in this country can see what is going on. I am not sure that the Bill is the right way to achieve that and it might be better achieved through Europe-wide legislation, because there might be reciprocal requirements for our lorries abroad. We are aware of the issue and my hon. Friend the Minister of State tells me that we are actively working on it. If the hon. Gentleman wants some further information, I am happy to write to him.
