HC Deb 30 October 1989 vol 159 c95W

Mrs. Margaret Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on progress in implementing proposals contained in the White Paper "The Road User and the Law".

Mr. Atkins

Many of the proposals announced on 7 February in the White Paper "The Road User and the Law" (CMD 576) will require legislation.

The further consultation outlined in the White Paper on the details of the legislative changes and administrative arrangements for key proposals is well advanced. Copies of the papers on driver retesting, vehicle prohibition and the use of technology for enforcement have been placed in the Library.
