HC Deb 18 May 1938 vol 336 c417W
Mr. Day

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give particulars of the results, following the consultation held by his Department with the motor traders and motor manufacturers, into the requirements necessary to the design of motor vehicles in relation to the cause of accidents?

Mr. Burgin

My Department is in frequent contact with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, and with individual manufacturers, on questions of vehicle design affecting public safety. If the hon. Member has in mind the question of visibility for drivers I am glad to say that as a result of discussion between my Department and the Society certain minimum standards have been accepted, which should result in improvements in a number of next year's models.
