§ Mr. Aspinwallasked the Minister of Transport if he will seek to amend the regulations which effectively prohibit provisional licence holders who ride motor cycles in the range from 50 cc to 250 cc from riding across the Severn bridge, either on the roadway or the cycle track ; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. It would be dangerous either to admit these learner riders on to the motorway or to allow496W them to mix with cyclists on the cycle track. Those who wish to have the benefit of riding such machines across the bridge should pass the test and obtain a full licence.
