HC Deb 06 July 1994 vol 246 c254W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to amend the use and construction regulations for motor vehicles to deal with the construction and safety of nudge bars.

Mr. Key

We have taken steps to identify accidents where a pedestrian has been struck by a vehicle fitted with a bull bar with a view to determining whether bull bars are causing increased injuries. We do not expect to see results from this exercise before the end of 1994. It would not be sensible to legislate before considering those results.
