§ 14. Mr. Steeleasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will set up a committee to examine and report on the provisions made for road safety in Scotland.
Mr. CampbellMy right hon. Friend is considering with the Minister of Transport how best to give a new impetus to road safety activities, and he will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind.
§ Mr. SteeleIn view of the fact that Scotland has some responsibility in this matter, that road accidents are increasing, and that the reports from the various authorities in Scotland show varying success records and that efforts differ very widely on how to tackle this problem, would it not be worth while, in Scotland, to have a committee to examine this problem so that it could give guidance to local authorities and others as to the best methods and organisations to deal with it?
Mr. CampbellAs I said, this suggestion will be taken into account. The hon. Member has described what he has in mind, and I know that he has studied this matter very fully. I can assure him that his suggestion will be considered.
