HC Deb 09 December 1976 vol 922 c307W
Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to limit the number of provisional licences which can be obtained by learner drivers who are permitted to ride alone on motor cycles up to 250 cc.

Mr. Horam

We are anxious to improve the safety of motor cyclists; but a provision of this kind was tried some years ago and found to be both expensive to administer and ineffective in terms of road safety.
