HC Deb 06 July 1976 vol 914 c498W
Sir W. Elliott

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider introducing legislation to make laminated windscreens compulsory.

Dr. Gilbert

Such a step would not be justified without evidence of a clear advantage in safety. Both laminated and toughened glass windscreens can cause severe injury in accidents; but most of the injuries from windscreens would be avoided if people wore their seat belts.
