§ Mr. ÖpikTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales for what reasons motorcyclists are not represented on the Welsh Transport Advisory Group; and if he will make a statement. [55372]
Mr. Jon Owen JonesMy right hon. Friend has received a number of requests from motorcycling organisations for representation on the Welsh Transport Advisory Group. He has told them he is satisfied that the current membership of the Group already adequately covers the interests of two wheeled transport. He has also offered them the opportunity to submit written representations to the Group. In addition, a separate advisory group is currently being established to bring together motorcycle interests and other interested parties for Great Britain as a whole.
