§ Mr. Penhaligonasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is his Department's estimate of the total number of miles driven by 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21-yearolds on motor bikes and in motor cars, respectively.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe information is as follows:
Estimated miles driven (millions) in 1983: Great Britain Ages Motor Cycles Motor Cars 16 1600 — 17 600 18 1,150 19 1,650 20 2,050 21 2,550 The figure for motor cycles includes mopeds. It cannot be disaggregated by age-group, because the available data are based on a small sample of motor cycles in 1978–79.
