Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what research has been undertaken by his Department into the eyesight of those involved in road accidents.

Mr. Peyton

Extensive studies have been carried out in this country and abroad. I do not consider it necessary to duplicate this work.

Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce legislation for an experimental period to require the eyesight of those involved in road accidents to be tested by a qualified optical practitioner.

Mr. Peyton

No.
