HC Deb 15 December 1986 vol 107 c405W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce legislation prescribing motor cycle crash-worthiness performance standards; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Research at the transport and road research laboratory has identified a number of measures to improve the crash-worthiness of motor cycles. We are giving priority to the development of a performance standard for effective leg-guards which could then be prescribed in regulations.
