That this House notes that, following the introduction of a new motorcycle test on 27 April 2009, Driving Standards Agency figures show that 50,000 fewer people took the motorcycle test in the period to 31 January 2010 than in the same period in 2008; further notes that 45 learners crashed attempting the new test during its first nine weeks, resulting in 12 hospitalisations; further notes that the majority of crashes occurred during the new swerve and stop exercise, which has been combined into one exercise in Module One of the new test; further notes that this is not obligatory under the European directive which prompted the introduction of the new test; further notes that the new test has resulted in a reduction in test centres, requiring longer journeys for inexperienced riders to access test facilities; is concerned that inaction to tackle this lack of test centres and combined swerve and stop exercise could lead to a decline in the overall number of motorcyclists and the motorcycle industry as a whole; congratulates Motorcycle News and the Motorcycle Action Group on their campaign to have these issues addressed; and calls on the Government to consider separating the two elements of the swerve and stop exercise and to investigate how the availability of test centres could be addressed.

It is £4.70 now, is it? It is probably £4.90 by now—the cost has gone up while I am talking. That is an example of inflation. Does the hon. Member for Chorley (Mr. Hoyle) agree that the toll road has, at least, taken some of the traffic off the old...

I congratulate the hon. Member for Chorley (Mr. Hoyle) on winning this debate. There are some debates in this Hall to which hardly anyone turns up, so the good representation of Members of Parliament from all over the north-west shows the interest in this one. The hon. Gentleman mentioned several...

I agree with the hon. Gentleman: something clearly needs to be done about the M6. A lot of business traffic travels on there. It does not matter what time in the morning it is—for example, some of us travel back in the early hours, perhaps 1 am or 2 am—we...

I am intrigued by the £30 tax. Would those flying via Heathrow or Gatwick in transit be eligible for that tax?

As I say, I think that Manchester could be a huge safety valve for airports such as Gatwick and Heathrow. Let us not try to drag ourselves back to the 14th century and think that people are going to stop flying, because that is not going to happen. These days,...

I agree absolutely with the Minister that we cannot chain airlines to Manchester and say that they have to fly from there. However, we need to look at the reasons, commercial and otherwise, why they have decided to reduce the routes. Clearly, the recession is going to be part of...

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. Longevity is required, and predictability of service as well: it must not be the case that there is a bus in the morning, but the next one is late at night. Some people want to go to Clitheroe, for example, to do some shopping,...

Perhaps it is time for a review. I believe that that there is all-party consensus on seeing what we can do to invest money in new lines throughout the country and in looking again at some of the lines that were taken out. If they have not been built on,...

Before the hon. Gentleman moves on to his next campaign, may I drag him back to his first campaign? Although it is great that a lot of pensioners now have the opportunity to travel free around their areas, does he recognise that there are vast tracts in the north-west, particularly...
