Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Severe Winter Weather.
Severe Winter Weather
The last time the Secretary of State gave a statement on the weather, I asked him about winter tyres. He told me that he did not think them appropriate for this climate and this country, and indeed that David Quarmby looked at the matter. Try as I may, I could find no reference to winter tyres in the Quarmby report. The only advice I found was from the Highways Agency, which says:"““The safest option in these conditions is to fit winter weather tyres which are specifically designed to provide extra grip and improved levels of safety””." Will the Secretary of State please now reconsider his response?
