SEGWAYS AND THE SNOW

Early day motion 655, tabled 2 February 2009 by Lembit Öpik (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 2 members.

That this House notes that, unlike Vienna's transport system, London's public and private transport system can be brought to a virtual standstill by about eight inches of frozen water; further notes that the Segway personal transporter is legal in Vienna; believes that more people would have got to work in the snow if Segways were widely used for commuting in the UK; and calls on the Government to legalise Segways before the East Wind blows again.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 1, Scottish National Party 1.
