§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Transport if he will direct that some of the £1 million he has allocated to a road safety campaign should be expended on promoting the use of reflective safety number plates, in view of the fact that these plates are now in use in accordance with the Road Transport Lighting Act, 1967, and have been a definite aid to road safety.
Mr. Bob BrownNo. The subjects in the opening stages of the campaign are those which are expected to produce the largest reductions in casualties, or have already proved their road safety value.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport whether his recently announced new campaign for road safety will include special provisions for the observance of the law on the obtaining and holding of a certificate of road worthiness of vehicles where appropriate.
Mr. Bob BrownNo. The subjects in the opening stages of the campaign are those which are expected to produce the largest reductions in casualties. The vehicle testing requirement has already been well publicised, and is still advertised by posters in garages, post offices etc.
