BAN ON BULL BARS

Early day motion 9, tabled 17 November 1999 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 83 members.

That this House welcomes the reduction in pedestrian injuries following the introduction of vehicles with flexible fronts that absorb the shock of collisions; but regrets that there has been no ban on the macho fashion accessories of bull bars that concentrate and multiply the force of collision at the level of a child's head and vital organs.

Signatures by party: Labour 58, Liberal Democrat 17, Labour/Co-operative 4, UUP 2, Conservative 1, Scottish National Party 1.
