Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much was spent in 1972 on road safety publicity, on television and other forms of advertising, stressing motor vehicle defects likely to contribute to accidents; and if he will give details of the advertising for each type of defect.
§ Mr. PeytonThere was none in the last financial year. Total publicity expenditure of £1,550,386 was concentrated on child pedestrian safety and seat belt wearing. The BBC and independent television companies showed, without payment, short items on defective tyres.
