MINI-MOTORBIKES

Early day motion 2040, tabled 25 April 2006 by Helen Jones (Labour). Signed by 79 members.

That this House notes with concern the sale of mini-motorbikes to young people and the incidence of anti-social behaviour and accidents associated with these bikes; welcomes the seizure powers given to the police under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 which apply to mini-bikes; but calls on the Government to clarify the law to ensure that mini-bikes are clearly defined as motor vehicles and to prevent their sale to or use by children aged under 16 years.

Signatures by party: Labour 54, Liberal Democrat 11, Conservative 8, DUP 4, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
