Will the noble Baroness confirm that powers exist, if required, for the Government to require it to be fitted to heavy goods vehicles? That was a particular concern of mine.
My noble friend Lord Attlee suggested that the cost was for only one supplier, but with market forces as they are I would have thought that other people will start making the stuff if a great deal is to be required; and there should be commercial opportunities for other people. Therefore, if considerably more tape were to be used the costs might come down.
I would like to confirm that powers already exist and that therefore the Government could do this now without any amendment to the legislation.
