HC Deb 14 July 1998 vol 316 c119W
Mr. Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make it his policy to ban bull bars on vehicles. [50253]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Last year we consulted on a range of possible options for dealing with bull bars at a national level. Having carefully considered the responses to this exercise, we are now in the process of identifying how best to take matters forward. We are keen to see aggressive bull bars off the road, but we must ensure that any action we take deals effectively with the complexities involved.
