HC Deb 14 December 1982 vol 34 c94W
Mr Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the reply, Official Report, 1 December, c. 202. what are the differences between mopeds and motor cycles which rule out a common test for riders of both.

Mrs. Chalker

The difficulty of prescribing a common test stems not only from the limited power of the moped, but also from the fact that the term "moped" itself covers a whole range of different types of machine.
