HC Deb 17 October 1973 vol 861 c155W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to be able to announce the results of his departmental inquiry into the safety of high-handlebar children's bicycles.

Mr. Peyton

There has been no change since I wrote to the hon. Member on 30th July. In the light of my Department's investigations I see no reason to regulate in any special way the manufacture or sale of high-rise bicycles. Children should be trained to ride cycles of whatever type.
