§ Mr. Sheermanasked the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will make a statement on his discussions with manufacturers on the possibility of extending the code of practice on vehicle defects to cover motor cycles, caravans, trailers and replacement components;
(2) what manufacturers are participating in the discussions he is now having on the possibility of extending the code of practice on vehicle defects, to cover motor cycles, caravans, trailers and replacement components.
§ Mr. FowlerDiscussions have already begun with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders about how the principles of the present code might be extended to replacement components, caravans and trailers. I have also approached the Motor Cycle Association of Great Britain about a similar code for motor cycles. I shall be consulting other appropriate associations and individual manufacturers as necessary over the next few months.
