HC Deb 19 June 1979 vol 968 c515W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received from the medical profession about the wearing of seat belts in the light of his policy not to proceed with legislation to make the wearing of seat belts compulsory.

Sir George Young

The question of legislation is for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport. I have received two letters from individual members of the medical profession in favour of compulsory seat-belt wearing but none from their professional organisations.
