§ Mr. AmosTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what research his Department has undertaken or sponsored into improvements in security devices on motor vehicles; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Leigh[holding answer 29 January 1991]: None. There is considerable scope for improving vehicle security, using known technologies, through ordinary product development work. The industry is already pursuing this, in response to commercial pressures, and I see no role for the Department in support of additional research.
