Health Bill

I have tried to be as clear as possible on the guiding principle in determining whether a vehicle of whatever description is covered. I return to my point that the vehicle must be enclosed, or substantially enclosed. We have discussed the definition of ““substantially enclosed””, which is provided for in the Bill. I would be surprised if most of the cycle rickshaws I have seen fit within the definition of ““substantially enclosed””, but it is always possible. If company cars are always driven by the same person—whether owned, leased or on whatever basis—they will not be covered by the legislation. If they are pooled cars, they will be covered by the legislation because they are in the same frame as lorries and delivery vans which are driven by a multiplicity of drivers. The same argument applies there. Ever the servant of the Committee, I am happy to set out in a letter my full range of ““Mastermind”” knowledge on vehicles which are covered, in the hope that it will help people deal with the Bill at the next stage.
