HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 cc1439-40W
Major GLYN

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider the revision of the existing regulations concerning the size and position of identification number plates carried in front of the handlebar on motor bicycles in view of the added danger caused by the sharp plate causing a bad wound to any person run down by a motor cyclist; and whether arrangements will be made for the fixing of these identification plates in a manner uniform with the method adopted for motor vehicles?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I have under consideration the amendment of the regulations governing the size and position of motor-cycle number plates, but I do not propose to alter the existing requirements as regards the size and position of the front number plate.
