New Eyesight Regulations For Lgv Drivers
EDM number 423 in 1995-96, proposed by Audrey Wise on 14/02/1996.
That this House notes the EU Driving Licence Directive which comes into force on 1st July 1996 and provides new more rigorous eyesight regulations for LGV drivers, which the Department of Transport estimates will fail to be met by about 3000 current drivers; while accepting that road safety is paramount, is concerned that the employment of these drivers will be threatened; and calls on the Government to consult with employers and unions with a view to helping with re-training or where necessary a compensation package.
This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
