§ Lord Braine of Wheatleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will place in the Library of the House copies of any reports produced by them which show the benefits of wearing a rear seat belt.
§ Baroness HaymanNo government report specifically shows the benefits of wearing a rear seat belt. However, the following reports examine the effects of the earlier legislation on front seat belts:
The Medical Effects of Seat Belt Legislation in the United Kingdom (Rutherford et al, DHSS 1985); and
Road Casualties in Great Britain during the first year with seat belt legislation (P. P. Scott and P. A. Willis, TRRL Research Report 9, 1985).
Copies of these reports are in the Library of the House.
