HC Deb 18 December 1968 vol 775 c406W
95. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the danger inherent in the use by public service vehicles of re-cut tyres, he will seek to extend the regulation governing their use.

Mr. Marsh:

No. I am aware of no evidence that the use of re-cut tyres on public service vehicles is a source of danger. These heavy duty tyres are manufactured with an additional depth of rubber to permit re-cutting and this process is normally carried out expertly and safely.
