§ 31. Miss Emma NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures his Department is taking to protect horses and horse riders who use the road.
§ Mr. ChopeFollowing the recent enactment of legislation requiring children under 14 to wear protective headgear, we are about to consult on regulations to bring the Act into force. We have also entered into discussions with the British Horse Society on measures to extend road traffic law to cover ridden horses and on possible amendments to the highway code to provide better advice to horse riders and motor vehicle drivers.
