§ Mr. Speedasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will now arrange for a full safety evaluation of the space saver tyres available in the United Kingdom to be undertaken.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe Transport and Road Research Laboratory Has already carried out tests and I am satisfied that temporary use spare tyres now available are safe if used in accordance with manufacturers' instructions and at a speed not in excess of 50 mph. Further safeguards will result from regulations which I am proposing to require new vehicles equipped with these tyres to meet the requirements of ECE regulation 64.
