HC Deb 10 November 1969 vol 791 c19W
70. Mr. Doig

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek to amend Statutory Instrument No. 252, 1969, so that dual control accelerator devices do not have to be removed but only made inoperable.

Mr. Bob Brown

No. The dual accelerator device is a positive control which is dangerous if used inadvertently. Removal is the only certain and universal way to ensure that it has been made inoperable.
