HC Deb 27 October 1965 vol 718 c61W
Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Transport if he will appoint an interdepartmental committee to look into the question of child road casualties, in view of the fact that it is 30 years since the last report of such a committee.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The National Road Safety Advisory Council which I set up earlier this year, is already giving special attention to children's training. This work has the fullest support of my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education and Science. The Council will also be reviewing other measures designed to provide greater safety for children, and I do not think that an inter-departmental committee could, at this stage, add to the effectiveness of what is now in hand.
