HC Deb 01 June 1967 vol 747 c74W
Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Transport how many times the Road Safety Advisory Council has met prior to April, 1967; and what is to be the frequency of future meetings.

Mr. John Morris

The Council met on thirteen occasions in the two years prior to April, 1967. There is no set frequency for future meetings but we expect that it will meet three or four times a year.

Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Transport if she will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names of the members of the Road Safety Advisory Council before the recent change of membership and chairmanship.
