HC Deb 28 November 1989 vol 162 c181W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has on the practice of companies employing L-plate motor cycle and moped riders for delivery of goods; and if he intends to bring in regulations to prohibit such practice.

Mr. Atkins

Motor cycle couriers provide a useful service. It requires skill and experience. We deplore the use of unqualified riders, and no responsible company should employ them for the delivery of goods.
