HC Deb 29 November 1993 vol 233 c343W
21. Mr. Spring

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to make mandatory the installation of seat belts in buses and coaches in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Key

The Department is currently looking at the circumstances surrounding the recent tragic coach and minibus accidents and is reviewing the full technical and cost implications of the compulsory fitment of seat belts in minibuses and coaches. It would not be right to take any decisions before this work has been completed.
