HC Deb 12 February 1958 vol 582 cc58-9W
100. Mrs. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what measures he is taking to promote education and propaganda regarding the wearing of safety helmets by motor cyclists; and how much is being spent on this subject.

Mr. Nugent

This is one of the many subjects dealt with in the general road safety education and propaganda programme carried out by local road safety committees in this country, whose activities we help by grants. In addition, we have recently commissioned a short cartoon film on protective helmets for showing on television. It would be impossible to isolate the amount of road safety expenditure attributable to safety helmet propaganda.
