department. We had many, many discussions on this matter and, at the end of these, the unions agreed that they had come out of it extremely well, particularly as the reference to the police had been removed.
This was a particularly sore point. The unions felt that it should be an inspector from the department and not the police who had the right to do the weighing. It was pointed out that the police had this power to pull them up at any time, but the point now was that they would have to call on somebody from the department and they felt that they would not be victimised in any way.
I thank the Minister for this and, as I say, the union and the Mudcarters Association did realise that they had done extremely well. There was one little sticky point that could not really be changed, but by and large I think they will agree that they have a good deal out of this legislation.
