I dont know about that.
If the government had to legislate it would take 2/3/4 years to sort out.
Take the licensing laws, those on the know still think it will be the middle of next year till we have 24 hour opening.
So if the government are going to put the screws on the remaining restricted councils the end of quotas might come sooner. :wink:

I think that's why the guidance is more than likely to appear just after the June elections. :shock:

Hi, This story about the ''Govt rejecting the views of the transport committee''

Is this an official release from the Govt ?

TDO · **Posted:** Wed May 19, 2004 4:07 pm

The article is based on a Government statement responding to the Transport Committee's report and recommendations.

This is not the text of the official Government statement (as the first paragraph of the article made clear) and the article was intended merely to summarise the main points made in the statement.
