To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have considered making it a legal requirement for every new car to have a spare wheel.
Lord Davies of Gower
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government currently has no plans to introduce a legal requirement for the inclusion of spare wheels on all new cars. There are various solutions to flat tyres including full-sized spare wheels, a temporary use space-saver spare, or a sealant and inflation kit. Many manufacturers choose to provide a sealant and inflation kit which has benefits in reducing the weight of the vehicle and increasing usable space.
