HC Deb 25 March 1981 vol 1 c376W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list in the Official Report the number of tests undertaken under type approved regulations on alloy motor cycle and motor vehicle wheels; and if he will make a statement on the durability of such wheels.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

There are no type approval regulations applicable to such wheels, and therefore no tests have been undertaken.

We have no evidence that alloy wheels in general are insufficiently durable, but if the hon. Member has such evidence I should be glad to have the details.
