§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what representation he has received regarding the wearing of seat belts; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael RobertsSeven representations concerning seat belt legislation have been made to me since May 1979. There were six from organisations, including the British Medical Association, in support of compulsion, and one from a member of the public against. I am fully aware of the arguments in favour of legislation making the wearing of seats belts complusory, including savings in medical and other expenditure; but I also recognise those points of view which are against.
