Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Paul Flynn (Labour), on Tuesday, 28 March 1995, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 62 members in total.
BAN ON BULL BARS
That this House welcomes the assurance by European Commissioner Neil Kinnock that there is no European obstacle to a ban on bull bars; recalls that the Transport Research Laboratory calculated that bull bars will cause 350 additional serious injury accidents and 35 deaths every year; and calls for swift action from the Government to ban these deadly macho fashion accessories.
Amendments
The Early day motion has received 2 amendments.
- 907A1
- leave out 'welcomes' and insert 'notes'.
- 907A2
- leave out from 'calls' to end and add 'but notes that bull bars are a useful accessory for farmers and country dwellers for use in agricultural work; and is not prepared to call for a ban on bull bars on the grounds that some honourable Members spend their lives trying to ban anything remotely harmful and enforcing their own narrow views on others'.
