HC Deb 20 July 1984 vol 64 c349W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many drivers have taken the option of a blood or urine test after an initial test with a Lion intoximeter was introduced on 16 April; what proportion of the total number of drivers stopped this represents; and if he has any evidence yet of the relationship between blood or urine test results and Lion intoximeter 3000 results.

Mr. Hurd

The data that have so far been processed centrally show that of those providing a breath test on the Intoximeter 3000, since 16 April 1984, 3,753, or 39 per cent. have opted to provide a blood/urine specimen. Figures are not yet available as to the number of persons stopped and breathalysed at the roadside for this period. It is too early to draw conclusions from the data so far processed.
