HC Deb 14 July 1982 vol 27 cc413-4W
24. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if will take steps to prevent the sale of low standard tyres, normally used on farms for speeds of up to 15 miles per hour, for use on ordinary cars.

Mrs. Chalker

I recently announced a proposal for all new car tyres to comply with the U.N ECE regulation 30 performance standard. This will effectively prevent the sale of low standard tyres for use on cars.
