HC Deb 16 December 1981 vol 15 c153W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to consult representative organisations on the form of the regulations referred to in subsections (1), (5), (6) and (7) of section 23 of the Transport Act 1981 and to lay such regulations before Parliament.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

My Department wrote to representative organisations on 2 November consulting them about the regulations prescribing the two part motorcycle test for which subsections 6 and 7 of section 23 of the Act provides. It is hoped to make and lay the regulations early in 1982. Consultations about the changes in regulations related to the motor cycle provisional licence, provided for by subsections (1) and (5) of that section of the Act, will take place in the spring with a view to making and laying the regulations in the summer.
