§ Mr. FrenchTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement of the compulsory introduction of leg protectors for motorcyclists.
§ Mr. AtkinsOver 3,000 serious injuries to motorcyclists a year would be prevented with properly designed leg protectors. That represents a huge sum of pain, disfigurement and personal financial loss. We want manufacturers to design and offer them to motorcyclists who want better protection from accidents. No decision has been taken about any legislative option.
