HC Deb 29 February 1972 vol 832 cc77-8W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will establish an independent committee of inquiry to evaluate the safety, reliability and relative costs of the present issue of three-wheeler cars; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

No. The three-wheelers currently on issue by the Department satisfy the relevant Construction and Use Regulations and we are satisfied that they do not compare unfavourably with other light vehicles in relation to safety and reliability. I am also fully informed about their relative cost.
