    On a related note, I see that in the recent Martlehat debate there was
    the following comment from John Thurso:

    "On new clause 15, which the hon. Member for Carlisle (Mr. Martlew) has
    just discussed, I was here when his private Member's Bill was debated,
    although I was prevented from contributing because the Bill was talked
    out. At that point, I examined the evidence, and although I fully
    understood the safety case, I was seduced by the fitness case. Although
    I did not agree with the hon. Gentleman then, I have since attended many
    briefings and discussions, and my views have changed.

    The terms in which new clause 15 is couched make it easier to support
    than the private Member's Bill, some aspects of which I did not agree
    with—for example, the hon. Gentleman has introduced the important
    distinction that the legislation will be confined to the road. I have
    also heard that some of the facts that were adduced at that time were
    not accurate, so I am moving in his direction."

    It would seem that BsHIT are well organised with "many briefings" and I
    was wondering whether the CTC was putting the same level of effort into
    the debate.
