HC Deb 14 July 1986 vol 101 c391W
10. Sir John Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what evaluation his Department has made of the extent of application of small-scale safety engineering techniques for accident reduction.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Department actively promotes these techniques. They are highly cost-effective. Some authorities use them extensively. If others followed their lead, many more accidents could be saved at low cost.
