HC Deb 21 November 1983 vol 49 cc10-1
14. Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to improve road safety in Wales.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

The trunk road programme, including the provision of bypasses, makes the major contribution to improving road safety. In addition the Government are seeking to improve personal safety. We continue to support the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and a number of road safety education and training measures.

Mr. Hooson

These policies are all useful. Will my hon. Friend say whether he is doing anything to promote consciousness of road safety rules among children?

Mr. Stradling Thomas

I am happy to tell the House that we recently had the finals of the Welsh inter-school road safety quiz, which were televised by HTV. I believe that my hon. Friend presented the prizes, and they were well received.
