HC Deb 24 January 1974 vol 867 cc335-6W
Mr. Austick

asked the Minister for Energy if he will consider legislation to limit the power of solo motor cycles produced for general sale on the home market and if he will encourage greater use of this means of transport during the present fuel shortage.

Mr. Emery

No. The Government have already taken steps to encourage the use of mopeds and motor cycles during the present fuel shortage by excluding this class of vehicle from the revised hire-purchase and credit-sale controls announced on 17th December 1973 by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
