§ Mr. R. W. Elliottasked the Minister of Transport if he is satisfied with the present safety regulations with regard to the conditions of tyres on motor vehicles; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Tom FraserOn 14th April I told my hon. Friend the Member for Don Valley (Mr. Kelley) that I had circulated to interested organisations proposals to amend the Regulations in order to control the use of re-cut tyres.
I am also considering how the present regulations can be strengthened to control more effectively the use of badly worn tyres.
