§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in view of the fact that Russian-made motor car tyres are being sold cheaply on the British market and appear to be radials but are actually crossply, and, as the mixing of the two types of tyre is a serious road hazard, he will issue a general warning and advise what action should be taken in the interests of road safety.
§ Mrs. ChalkerRadial tyres are normally marked with the word Radial or an R, and the Russian-made tyres to which the hon. member refers were not so marked. Motorists in any doubt about the suitability of replacement tyres should seek the advice of a specialist tyre dealer.
