§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied with existing safety regulations for publicly and privately owned and operated transport; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerDetailed safety regulations cover many aspects of transport operation by road, rail, air and sea, and apply to both public and privately owned operations. By international standards we have an excellent transport safety record, but there are of course many improvements under consideration which will require amendments to the regulations.
