HC Deb 08 February 1999 vol 325 c8W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans the Government have to ban vehicles with bull bars from public roads. [69258]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Having considered the responses to a consultation exercise on options for national action on bull bars, we are currently in the process of identifying how best to take matters forward. As we have always made clear, any action on aggressive bull bars must deal effectively with the complexities involved. It is also clearly sensible for us to take the opportunity to consider bull bars in the context of the wider issue of making all new cars more pedestrian friendly.
