HC Deb 16 December 1965 vol 722 cc338-9W

Mr. Graham Page

asked the Minister of Transport when he will now introduce legislation relating to drink and driving and the safety of goods vehicles.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I hope to introduce a Bill immediately after the Christmas Recess. Meanwhile, to assist Parliamentary and public discussion of the important issues raised by the Bill, I shall publish next Tuesday, 21st December, a White Paper explaining the background to the Government's proposals. Copies will be available at the Vote Office at 2.30 p.m. on that day.
