§ Mr. Hannamasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many formal and informal preparatory wind gust tests, respectively, have been carried out to Model 70 invalid tricycles by the Motor Industry Research Association on behalf of her Department; on what dates they were carried out; and if she will list which of these tests had to be discontinued due to the dangers of an accident occurring.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisAs part of a continuing experimental programme two other side wind tests have been carried out, comparing the Model 70 with other vehicles, on 28th March 1974—in collaboration with the Department of the Environment—and on 30th May 1974. The results of these tests showed no significant differences for the standard Model 70 from the tests carried out on 5th September 1973, which were the subject of the report placed in the Library on 119W 7th May. At no time was it necessary to discontinue any test because of danger.
