Northern Ireland Office

Question: What plans he has to achieve the Code of Good Practice recommendation of one road safety officer per 50,000 population before the year 2000; and what additional resources he plans to devote to this aim.

Answer: Dr. Hendron: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans he has to achieve the code of good practice recommendation of one road safety officer per 50,000 population before 2000; and what additional resources he plans to devote to this aim. [18738] Mr. Moss: I have no such plans. Competing priorities for road safety funding combined with general pressure on all departmental spending, render such a recommended staffing level inappropriate.
