Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Severe Winter Weather.
Severe Winter Weather
My noble friend raised the interesting point of winter tyres. They are effective, but it is a personal choice and it would be peculiar for the Government to take any steps to mandate them. Suppliers of essential services in remote rural areas might want to consider stocking some vehicles with winter tyres, but it is entirely a matter for them. I suspect the capital cost of winter tyres rarely justifies the investment.
