HC Deb 11 May 1977 vol 931 cc524-5W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what study he has made of the developments and research taking place in tyre technology in repairing tyres by the use of an aerosol containing a mixture of rubber foam, gas and liquid; if the Road Research Laboratory is working on this project; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Horam

Such aerosol sealants are not currently the subject of research by this laboratory. They are liable to disguise damage to carcases of tyres, and a current British Standard for tyre repairs precludes their use either for temporary or for permanent purposes.
