Quote "Again, this is no hard sell, here's a solution that is acceptable to the government, regulators, consumer lobby and increasingly the sector itself. It's now up to the garage operators that haven't yet signed up".

What exactly has been agreed as acceptable to the government? Will 50% of garages signing up do? or does every garage have to sign up or face enforced legislation?

What if 90% sign up, will the other 10% be forced to sign up or stop work?

I am sorry but I just can't see you getting everybody to put there hand in their pocket at times like these and I do not think government will be in a position to force yet more people onto the unemployment list because they wont sign up.
