HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 c145W
20. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consultations he is having with interested organisations about compulsory passenger insurance for motor-cycles regarding possible legislation.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I met representatives of the motor vehicle insurance companies this week and will be seeing motoring and motor-cycling organisations shortly. My right hon. Friend takes the view that there is a strong case for making passenger insurance compulsory; but in principle there seems to be a good case for exempting mopeds.
