I It was hoped that by bringing rental cars under some form of control the accident position would improve, and, ; while the Transport Licensing Act was . not quite suitable for such a purpose, it I provided the best available maehinerv | until such time as legislation could be i provided. | "Naturally." the Minister added. I ''various conditions and limitations j «Pplying to r-erviee cars and bus services are not always appropriate for the tvpe ot service provided by rental car firm's." I "
