§ 30. Mr. Higginsasked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has for reducing the number of motor cycle accidents.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe have already implemented, under the Transport Act 1981, a substantial package of measures to improve motor cycle safety. However we are continuing to explore ways of reducing two-wheeler casualties still further. For exanple, we have today begun consultations with motor cycle and road safety interests on how 16-year-old moped riders can best be encouraged to take training. Later this month we will be launching another national "Think Bike" television campaign.
