HC Deb 15 May 1981 vol 4 c375W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how much per annum he allocates for the campaigns now being run to persuade car drivers to use seat belts.

Mr. Fowler

In 1979–80 two national publicity campaigns were carried out at a cost of £1.8 million. In the last financial year a campaign to test a new approach was carried out in the Midlands TV area at a cost of £341,000. I am still considering my future plans.
