§ Mr. Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Transport what are the latest figures for motor cycle casualties in west Yorkshire among those holding provisional licences in the 15 to 19-year-old age group; and how this compares with those for the previous comparable period.
§ Mrs. ChalkerCasualties among 15 to 19-year-old riders were 871 in the period January to September 1982 and, provisionally, 621 in 1983. But the proportion with only provisional licences cannot be estimated, as west Yorkshire constabulary is not one of the police forces monitoring L-plate status of motor cycles involved in accidents.
