HC Deb 11 July 1983 vol 45 c251W
30. Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has for reducing the number of motor cycle accidents.

Mrs. Chalker

We have already implemented, under the Transport Act 1981, a substantial package of measures to improve motor cycle safety. However we are continuing to explore ways of reducing two-wheeler casualties still further. For exanple, we have today begun consultations with motor cycle and road safety interests on how 16-year-old moped riders can best be encouraged to take training. Later this month we will be launching another national "Think Bike" television campaign.
