Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].

Road Safety Bill [Lords]

To go back to the previous point, it is necessary not only that HGV drivers should be able to see other vehicles, but that other drivers should be able to see HGVs. He will be aware that the other place introduced new clause 16 on the conspicuousness of HGVs. It would be good to have a reassurance from the Government that they intend to leave the clause in the Bill and also that they will add a time scale for its introduction. My right hon. Friend will be aware that there has been a longstanding campaign on that issue, and I hope that it has now been successful.
