Random breath teats?
Sir, —Being interested in the Labour Party’s policy, I am wondering if the new Government would bring in random breathalyser tests for people coming out of hotels and licensed clubs. Drinking is all right in moderation, but drinking and driving endangers the community. — Yours, etc., PRE-DRIVER. December 12, 1972. [The Minister of Transport
(Sir Basil Arthur) replies:] “Th 6 Parliamentary Select! Committee on Road Safet” considered the matter of] random breathalyser tests very seriously. It recommended against random tests at this stage, and that recommendation will be considered by the Government, as will the other recommendations from the committee.”]
