HC Deb 19 February 1971 vol 811 c592W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals he has for the introduction of passenger car safety regulations along similar lines to current American and European legislation.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I have been asked to reply.

British regulations on car safety already exist and are subject to continual scrutiny. In amending them we have regard to foreign standards appropriate to our conditions, and we participate actively in international discussions aimed at harmonising standards wherever possible.
