HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 c455W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement as to his proposals to introduce legislation to reduce road traffic injury and mortality by tightening up drink-driving laws.

Mr. Fowler

I shall introduce legislation as soon as practicable to improve the law by removing procedural difficulties which have hampered its operation and by introducing evidential breath testing. I shall also be taking action on hit-and-run offences and on the problem of high-risk offenders.
