§ Mr. Michael Cocksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps are being taken by his Department in connection with the development of a motor vehicle front windscreen which will offer little resistance to the impact of a person inside the car in the event of accident.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsNone. Toughened safety glass, with which the majority of British cars are equipped, minimises the force of impact.
§ Mr. Michael Cocksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps are being taken by his Department in connection with the problem of the shattering of motor vehicle front windscreens as a result of resonance set up by the road surface.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsI know of no evidence to suggest that such resonance is a factor in damage to windscreens.
