HC Deb 03 May 1978 vol 949 c153W
43. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in light of the recent serious coach accidents, he will speed up the implementation of the EEC regulations on coach roof strengths, seats and seat mountings; if he will now require escape hatches to be fitted in roofs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Horam

We will do what we can to speed up consideration of these matters, but we are not yet in a position to add to the statement which I made in reply to my hon. Friend on 1st March.—[Vol. 945, c. 220.]
