§ 34. Mr. Hickmetasked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has for European Road Safety Year.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe shall use the year to highlight road safety initiatives in the field of legislation and research. Our publicity programme, and the efforts of other bodies, will be designed to increase public awareness of road safety problems in this country and abroad. We are still considering detailed possibilities, but I hope to increase our publicity efforts and in particular to encourage closer liaison between all the agencies involved and to bring in private sector sponsorship of road safety activities. Plans are also being developed in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
