§ 28. Mr. PILCHERasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that on 22nd September last, at Chertsey, Surrey, fatal injuries were sustained by Mr. F. Yeardsley, a man of 58 years of age, whilst on the same occasion another man received serious injuries, including a broken ankle, the said injuries being inflicted by a motor cycle ridden by a boy 15 years of age; whether he has read the coroner's remarks at the concluding stage of the inquiry; and whether he can give any indication of the Government's intentions regarding the early revision of regulations which permit the use of motor bicycles by immature lads?
§ Colonel ASHLEYMy attention had not previously been called to the particular accident to which my hon. Friend refers. As regards the last part of his question, I may say that I have under consideration the whole question of the issue of driving licences in connection with the Bill, which I hope to introduce 1674 shortly, for the better regulation of road vehicles.
