HC Deb 19 March 1980 vol 981 c196W
55. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Transport what representations he has received from motoring organisations, brewers, licensed victuallers, and the public about the advantages and disadvantages of providing motorists with self-test breathalyser equipment, bearing in mind proposed legislation in other EEC countries.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Self-testing is among the matters included in the consultative document on drinking and driving which we issued just before Christmas. We have given interested organisations until 31 March to respond so it is as yet too early for me to comment. I am not aware of any proposed legislation in other EEC countries.
