HC Deb 18 June 1999 vol 333 c247W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what percentage of cars sold in Britain in each of the past five years have been fitted with(a) airbags in the driver's seat only, (b) airbags in the driver's and front passenger seats, (c) airbags for rear passengers and (d) side-impact air bags.

Ms Glenda Jackson

Vehicle registration statistics do not yield this information. I understand that the majority of new cars sold in the UK now have drivers airbags fitted as standard equipment.
