§ 37. Mr. Tony Spellerasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will seek to amend the Motor Vehicles (Wearing of Seat Belts) Regulations 1982 to allow retail newsagents or their delivery staff on their delivery round to be exempted from the provisions of the regulation.
§ Mrs. ChalkerNo. I do not believe that a specific exemption for retail newsagents delivery rounds is justified. The regulations already provide exemption for those engaged in local delivery rounds when using a vehicle constructed or adapted for that purpose. Some retail newsagents may fall into that category.
