§ Mr. David HowellIn accordance with the provisions in the Transport Act 1981, I have today laid before both Houses of Parliament a copy of my statement explaining my proposals for the first set of regulations on compulsory seat belt wearing. Copies are available in the Vote Office. I have also sent copies to a wide range of interested organisations and have asked for comments by 9 February. I will give careful consideration to all the representations I receive before drawing up these regulations which will not be laid before Parliament for approval for at least three months.
