Mr. Sheerman
asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make the fitting of laminated windscreens to all motor vehicles compulsory.
Mrs. Chalker

Whilst the use of laminated windscreens is increasing, the views of researchers, manufacturers and users on its advantages are divided. We shall continue to keep this matter under review.
