HC Deb 24 June 1985 vol 81 cc268-9W
Mr. Patrick Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to expedite a decision on the setting up of a British standard for pedal cycle crash helmets.

Mrs. Chalker

The British Standards Institution decided earlier this year to set up a committee to prepare a standard for pedal cycle protective helmets and I understand the committee has already commenced its work.
