I would refer my hon. Friends to the answer which was given yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for North Lanark (Mr. Anstruther-Gray), of which I am sending them copies.

When the hon. Gentleman is formulating a policy on this question, will he aim at raising the standard of care of all road users?

When will the hon. Gentleman be in a position to make this statement?

Mr. STANLEY

I cannot give a definite date, but I hope it will be an early one.
