HC Deb 24 June 1936 vol 313 c1758
41. Mr. H. G. WILLIAMS for

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the number of fatal accidents due to steering-gear getting out of order; and what steps are taken to ensure that regular and effective tests are made of the steering-gear of motor-cars?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am now proposing to authorise the police and my examiners to test the mechanism of private cars and cycles, and I have circulated draft regulations to this end.
