HC Deb 31 July 1952 vol 504 c182W
103. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of the large and growing number of accidents involving motor cycles, what steps he proposes to take, particularly during Road Safety Week, to warn motor cyclists agains unsafe practices and especially driving at excessive speeds.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I hope that during Road Safety Week local propaganda will be directed to motor cyclists and I have asked that the team of observers who will be on the roads on August Bank Holiday should report specially on motor cyclist traffic. I intend to broadcast a message on road safety tomorrow and to make a special appeal to motor cyclists to ride with care.
