HC Deb 01 July 1980 vol 987 c512W
Mr. Goodlad

asked the Minister of Transport if he has any proposals for the harmonisation of laws governing trailers drawn by motor cycles with similar laws in other European Economic Community countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. I am not satisfied it would be safe to follow European practice here. The towing of a trailer is liable to reduce the motor cycle's braking ability and increase problems of stability and handling.
