§ 21. Mr. Warrenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what research his Department is conducting or has commissioned into methods of restricting the spray thrown up by vehicles in wet weather.
§ Mr. PeytonThe Transport and Road Research Laboratory is examining means of reducing surface water.
§ Mr. WarrenIs my right hon. Friend aware that I am delighted to hear he is doing something about it but that I wish he would accelerate the programme, because there is a very considerable design problem about which I would like the Government to be laying down safety criteria as soon as possible?
§ Mr. PeytonYes, I share my hon. Friend's desire, but it would be very easy in a matter like this to produce a lot of rather bogus suggestions which look like action but which could be totally ineffective and rather annoying.
