HC Deb 03 May 1978 vol 949 cc155-6W
53. Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for Transport it he will introduce legislation to ensure minimum safety standards in caravans.

Mr. Horam

The Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations already indicate safety requirements for caravans. These cover, among other things, brakes, tyres and lights. We are currently considering whether, in addi- tion, there is a need for regulations on gas-fired appliances in caravans.
