HC Deb 30 January 1992 vol 202 c632W
Mr. Janner

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce legislation to require all new saloon motor vehicles sold in the United Kingdom to have three cross-body safety belts in the rear seats.

Mr. Chope

One manufacturer has now introduced three point belts for rear centre seating on some models. I hope that other manufacturers will follow this lead. It would not be possible to make this compulsory without the agreement of the European Community.
