Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 March 2012. It occurred during Question for short debate on Roads: Motorists and Cyclists.


Roads: Motorists and Cyclists

I am grateful to the Minister for allowing me to intervene, because I realise the constraints of time. He will know that in Holland and Denmark, which have been cited in this debate, the presumption of responsibility for the accident lies with the powered vehicle. That issue was raised by several noble Lords and I sought to emphasise it, too. Have the Government considered that matter?
