asked the Minister of Transport whether his Department intend carrying out the road safety scheme entitled "Operation Proof," submitted to him recently by a deputation from the West Bromwich County Borough Council.

As I have explained to the deputation from the West Bromwich County Borough Council, I cannot commit myself to approving "Operation Proof" in its entirety, but if it is decided to work out a plan for some activity on the lines of a national road safety week, some of the features of the West Bromwich scheme may be found very useful.
