§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will bring forward proposals to amend Ministry of Transport test regulations to ensure that cars registered prior to 1963 will have to carry seat belts to comply with MoT test regulations; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerIt would not be reasonable to require such old cars to be fitted with seat belts. Many of them will not have been built with anchorage points, and for some the fitting of anchorage points would not be practicable.
