Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Transport Bill [HL].


Local Transport Bill [HL]

Before the noble Lord sits down, I get the impression that he is looking forward to the European regulations on the technical standards, but is suggesting that they should be voluntary rather than compulsory. It might well be that one local authority decides not to go along that route as it will cost more, and will therefore go down another route—then you will have two boxes in your car. It is a very important issue.
