• A bilateral agreement between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands on the international carriage of passengers by road was signed in London on November 4.
Under the terms of the agreement the services which will be exempt from foreign licensing laws are:—
(a) "closed-door tours" on which a vehicle carries the same group of passengers throughout the journey, does not take up or set down passengers en route, and returns to the place of departure with the same group of passengers; (b) journeys on which a vehicle from one country enters the other country with passengers and returns empty; (c) shuttle services which involve taking a group of passengers from one country into the other country in a passenger vehicle, leaving them there to be brought back subsequently in a passenger vehicle of the same operator, the original passenger vehicle returning with a group of passengers previously taken into the other country by the same operator. The first return journey and the last outward journey of a shuttle service is made with an empty vehicle.
The provisions of the agreement apply to passenger vehicles with eight or more seats (excluding the driver's) registered in either country and owned and operated by or on behalf of any operator authorized to carry passengers for hire and reward or on his own-account.
