Proceeding contribution from Lord Brougham and Vaux (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].
Road Safety Bill [HL]
As vice-president of RoSPA, I agree with the noble Baroness that safety is paramount. But I quite agree with the noble Lord, Lord Bradshaw, that this has not been thought out. Unless sites are properly regulated, as in other European countries, they will become havens for anti-social behaviour, fly-tipping, sex and other things. There is no definition in the Bill of what constitutes a picnic area. It does not state the facilities that would be offered and how they will be managed and regulated. There is no indication whether truck drivers as well as car drivers will be allowed to use such sites. If they are not, how will that be prevented?
