HC Deb 20 December 1982 vol 34 c300W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Minister for Trade if he will establish and promulgate safety standards for the headgear of horse-riders.

Dr. Vaughan

There is already a British Standard for protective headgear for horse and pony riders—BS3686: 1983—which is currently being revised to provide a higher level of protection to users. When ready, the revised standard will be published by the British Standards Institution.
