HC Deb 31 January 1984 vol 53 cc118-9W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to regulate the circumstances in which breath tests may be made and in particular specifically prohibiting random tests; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

The circumstances in which a person may be required to provide a specimen of breath are set out in sections 7, 8 and 9 of the Road Traffic Act 1972, as amended by section 25 of and schedule 8 to the Transport Act 1981. We have no plans to introduce amending legislation.
