HC Deb 09 April 1987 vol 114 c343W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will be introducing regulations before the end of this month to make it mandatory to fit seat belts to the front seats of all new large coaches and minibuses.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We expect to make regulations requiring the fitting of seat belts to all exposed seats on new coaches and to the front seats of new minibuses within the next four to six weeks.
