HC Deb 12 July 1926 vol 198 c57W
Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been drawn to the death of George Basil Joslin, of East Grinstead, who succumbed to injuries received whilst motor-cycling at Buxted, being accompanied by a 16-stone passenger on the rear carrier of the machine; and will he consider legislation with a view to adequately dealing - with such form of pillion riding?

Colonel ASHLEY

My attention had riot previously been drawn to the accident in question. On the general information which is before me, I do not consider that a case has been made out to justify the introduction of legislation prohibiting pillion riding.
