§ Mr. GallieTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps are being taken to ensure the fitting of nudge bars to motor vehicles does not create added danger to pedestrians.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleThe Government are working with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders on developing a code of practice on the design of nudge bars. The United Kingdom is also actively pressing within Europe for an EC directive to make the front of cars less harmful to pedestrians. When adopted, this will exercise some control over the fitment of nudge bars.
