HC Deb 19 April 1967 vol 745 c86W
Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will reconsider her decision to prohibit the use of the Severn Bridge by learner motor cyclists because this necessitates a long detour which causes hardship.

Mrs. Castle

No. The temporary disadvantage for this small group of motor cyclists has to be balanced against the danger that would be caused both to themselves and to other vehicles using the motorway across the Severn Bridge.
