§ Mr. Speedasked the Minister of Transport if the statements relating to motor cycling and road safety made in the handout, "Motoring", published by his Department in February represent the policy of his Department.
Mr. Bob BrownYes. The article points out the dangers of motorcycling and the need for learners to have adequate training. Although powered 2-wheelers account for less than 8 per cent. of vehicles licensed, nearly as many riders of motorcycles are being killed and seriously injured as drivers of cars.
§ Mr. Speedasked the Minister of Transport how many copies of the publication, "Motoring", published by his Department were issued in February and to whom they were issued.
Mr. Bob Brown760 copies were distributed to newspapers and magazines likely to be interested in the need for motor cycle training.
