Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to bring forward legislative proposals on requiring roll bars for quad bikes.

No. Research by the Health and Safety Executive on quadbikes used in the workplace is that Roll Over Protection Systems, which includes roll bars, may lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of an overturn by either preventing the operator from separating from the machine or striking the operator as the machine overturns.
