HC Deb 11 April 2002 vol 383 c508W
Mr. Letwin

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what conclusion he has drawn from the research by TRL on the effect of mobile phones on driver concentration; and if he will make a statement. [48194]

Mr. Jamieson

[holding answer Wednesday 10 April 2002]. The report confirms advice given in the Highway Code that drivers should never use hand-held phones while driving and that using a hand-free phone is also likely to distract a driver's attention from the road.
