HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 c992W
Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when the review into new driver safety will be extended to Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tim Smith

I welcome the Secretary of State for Transport's proposals for ensuring the safety of newly qualified drivers. These proposals are already being considered by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland in consultation with the Department of Transport with a view to their possible introduction in Northern Ireland.
