§ 77. Mr. Robson Brownasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what investigation his Department has carried out into the causes of the shattering of motor car windscreens; whether, in view of public concern, he will arrange an inquiry and, in particular, consult with the windscreen manufacturers as to the possibility of defective glass; and whether he will arrange for his Department to conduct suitable tests with air rifles and other similar small arms under practical conditions.
§ Mr. MolsonI know instances occur of the sudden shattering of certain types of windscreen and my advisers are in touch with manufacturers. The technical qualities of these types of glass are well known, and there is no need for us to arrange for the kind of tests proposed.
