§ 68. Sir Clive Bossomasked the Minister of Transport why the price of the new edition of the Highway Code will be 150 per cent. more than the price of the existing one; and what arrangements will be made for distribution of free copies.
§ Mr. MarshThe new Highway Code is a combination of the present one and the Traffic Signs Booklet. Both cost sixpence. The price also reflects the present cost of production and distribution.
Free copies will be sent to police forces, magistrates courts, first provisional licence holders, children enrolling in the Cycling Proficiency Scheme and to overseas visitors with cars.
