HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 c152W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation requiring automobile manufacturers to introduce higher standards of safety for drivers and passengers in motor cars, public service vehicles and lorries in the design of their products.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Adequate powers to control by regulation the safety standards of vehicles are available; they are used whenever the introduction of new safety measures is considered appropriate.
