HC Deb 16 January 1975 vol 884 c156W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will amend the construction and use regulations to provide for standardisation of tyres and the laying down of minimum road holding standards.

Mr. Carmichael

The United Kingdom has sponsored at the United Nations a draft Economic Commission for Europe Regulation which lays down construction standards for tyres for passenger cars. My right hon. Friend the Minister for Transport is considering the possibility of incorporating these standards in our regulations.
