Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that I am pleased to hear that he will be making a statement? I hope that it will be a positive statement and will not be a continuation of the equivocation we have had on the issue up to now. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that lives are being lost while he is equivocating and people are under the impression that if they wear seat belts on motorways they are safe and they do not bother to wear them in towns, where 75 per cent. of accidents take place? I look forward to a good statement from the right hon. Gentleman.
