§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the specific International Safety Standards tricycles cannot be modified to meet; when they will become mandatory in the United Kingdom; and how much time manufacturers will be allowed to change 396W designs between their introduction and enforcement.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisI would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Salford, East (Mr. Allaun) on 4th November.
The Government's decision on the future of the trike had to take into account increasingly stringent international standards of vehicle design, which affect the production of other vehicles as well as the trike, so as to ensure an orderly phasing-out of the trike.—[Vol. 918, c. 678–9.]
