Proceeding contribution from Viscount Simon (Labour) 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]
The first two amendments appear exceedingly good. I wanted to try out the Segway at lunchtime today, but unfortunately another appointment suddenly came up. It sounds like a marvellous machine. However, Amendment No. 154 was slightly dismissed as being fairly irrelevant. I have received an email from a retired police officer who is an expert in such matters. I shall read his comment on the amendment:"““Is this a precursor to moving to the European system of driving on the right or just anarchy on our roads?””." I leave it at that.
