Will the Leader invite the Minister for Transport to the House for a debate on road safety? When we speak of road safety, motorists' speed comes to mind but other road users also have to take into consideration that they are not the only ones on the road. I refer to joggers in particular. In their case, the sleeves of the tops they wear often fall down over their armbands, thereby preventing them from being seen. It should be mandatory for people to wear reflective vests. There is also evidence to suggest that many people are buying cars at auctions and putting them on the road without tax or insurance, begging the question as to whether they are roadworthy. These are serious questions about which we should have an early debate.
