HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 c266W
59. Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of Transport what plans she has to introduce legislation to make the training of learner-drivers for motorcycles compulsory; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

Proper training for learner motorcyclists is most important, and we would like to see more of it. But compulsory training is impracticable without a very considerable expansion of training facilities. A report on how the existing voluntary training schemes could be expanded is being prepared and an announcement will be made about this as soon as possible.
