HC Deb 01 July 1981 vol 7 c414W
28. Mr. Mawby

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in the light of successful experiments carried out by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory into a system of warning vehicles which follow too closely, he will take steps to introduce the system more generally.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Yes. We intend soon to tell local highway authorities of the results of the experiments, and we are willing to authorise the signs on roads where warning of over-close following is desirable.
