HC Deb 20 March 1997 vol 292 c755W
Mr. Amess

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures he proposes to take following the public consultation on measures to extend the concessions for electrically assisted pedal cycles to a wider range of electrically powered vehicles; and if he will make a statement. [21625]

Mr. Bowis

None. A significant number of respondents to the consultation exercise were not in favour of amending the existing regulations. After careful consideration of the submissions my Department received and of the implications to road safety should these concessions be extended, I have decided not to amend the present regulations.
