HC Deb 17 December 1980 vol 996 c226W
69. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Transport what is now his policy on the sale and use of self-testing breathalyser kits; and how this compares with that of Governments in other EEC countries.

Mr. Fowler

There are no legal restrictions on the sale or use of self-testing breathalysers, but the Blennerhassett committee which reviewed the laws on drinking and driving took the view that their use is not to be commended.

I do not have information on the position of other EEC countries.
