REPRESENTATIONS BY THE MOTOR CYCLE ACTION GROUP

That this House congratulates the Motorcycle Action Group on its lobby of Parliament on 24th March and the well presented case that there is no link between motor-cycle accidents and brake horsepower engine output; notes that 70 per cent. of motor-cycle accidents take place at under 30 m.p.h. in urban areas; rejects the arbitrary limit of 100 b.h.p. output and 'tamper-free' engine construction proposed by the EEC Commission which would include owner maintenance, impose an exorbitant increase in costs and penalise the already limited production of British motor-cycles thus placing jobs in jeopardy; notes the B.M.W. already has in hand conformity with these rules; believes that the Commission is working not in the interests of motor-cycle safety but of German industry; and calls upon the Government to reject the proposals.
