Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gibson of Market Rasen (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].

Road Safety Bill [HL]

I remind the Committee that I am the president of RoSPA. I rise to support all that has been said by other members of the Committee. RoSPA’s position is relatively simple: all these devices are extremely distracting. It believes firmly, as I do, that the use of any kind of mobile phone or such instrument should not be supported, whether one is in a vehicle or on a vehicle—as in the case of a cycle. I hope that my noble friend, who knows RoSPA as well as I do, will listen to the arguments.
