HC Deb 06 May 1980 vol 984 c80W
Mr. George Robertson

asked the Minister of Transport if his Department is making any financial contribution to the International Road Safety Conference to be held in London on 20 to 22 May; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Department already makes a substantial grant in support of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, totalling £350,000 in 1980–81. I regret that we are not able to make any extra financial contribution in relation to this conference, although my right hon. Friend and I support its aims and objectives.
