HC Deb 11 February 1991 vol 185 c311W
Mr. Conway

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to introduce legislation for the compulsory use of seat belts in school buses.

Mr. Chope

We shall consider the question of mandatory wearing seat belts in school buses once there is a requirement for seat belts to be fitted. We are not free to introduce such a requirement nationally, but are pressing the EC to bring forward proposals to enable us to do so.
