Mr Jackson is opposing a proposition from Deputy Phil Rondel to review bicycle laws, due for debate at the next States sitting on 20 April.

And in formal comments published on Friday, he wrote that a scheme could cost between £20 and £50 per cyclist to set up, with a £5 annual fee.

Deputy Rondel’s proposition calls on the Transport department to investigate whether the scheme – which forced riders to carry a small registration plate – should be reintroduced.

But in his comments, Mr Jackson said that it would be better to run a publicity campaign reminding riders about the Highway Code.
