§ Mr. Marlowasked the Minister of Transport what information has been obtained to estimate the incidence of traffic accidents arising from the wearing of seat belts; what evidence he has that the wearing of seat belts in any way restricts the agility and speed of reaction of drivers; and what evidence he has as to the effect of the wearing of seat belts on drivers who are suffering from fatigue.
§ Mr. FowlerMy information suggests that there is no correlation between the wearing of seat belts and drivers' involvement in accidents or the quality of their performance when driving.
