HC Deb 07 April 1982 vol 21 cc361-2W
Mr. lain Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, with the ending of the RAC-ACU motor cycle scheme, he will introduce measures to encourage more training organisations to participate in part I of the new motor cycle test.

Mrs. Chalker

We agreed to make available to the British Motorcycle Safety Foundation a significant proportion of the £143,000 originally allocated for the payment of grant to the RAC in respect of motor cycle training during the current financial year. This will enable the foundation to help defray the initial expenditure of training organisations—including many former RACACU centres—which wish to take part in the new training and testing scheme.
