HC Deb 24 January 1977 vol 924 c480W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish any reports in his Department's possession regarding the safety of British cars.

Mr. Horam

Research into the fundamental characteristics of vehicle safety is continuous, and reports on different aspects of the problem are published from time to time. My Department does not normally produce comparative reports on particular vehicle designs. However, if the Department becomes aware of defects in a particular vehicle design, it takes it up with the manufacturer.
