HC Deb 30 November 1955 vol 546 cc220-1W
Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware of the doubts which exist as to whether it is obligatory under the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations, 1950, for a person holding a provisional licence to drive a hand-operated pedestrian-controlled electric vehicle to be accompanied by another licence holder walking with him when taking such a vehicle on the highway; and whether he will amend the regulations with a view to making it clear that no such obligation is imposed thereby.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am unaware of any general doubts on this question. Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will send me more precise details of the type of vehicle he has in mind, and I will then gladly look into the matter.
