Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (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]

The noble Baroness’s knowledge is quite right, although she arrived at it anecdotally. There was an invitation to Members of this House, together with Members of another place, to present themselves for the hazard perception test. I was rash enough to do so. I would not be confessing to that if I had not had the good fortune to cope with it reasonably well. I assure the noble Baroness that it is very demanding and entirely appropriate. I am sure provision could be made again for noble Lords to avail themselves of this test. If such an opportunity arises, I invite her to participate, but she will have to stand by the results.
