HC Deb 30 May 1956 vol 553 c297
Mr. Watkinson

I beg to move, in page 18, line 32, at the end to insert: and, in relation to a vehicle to which section (Obligatory test certificates) of this Act applies, as if references to a certificate of insurance included references to a test certificate issued as mentioned in subsection (1) of that section". This is a consequential Amendment connected with the new obligation for a test certificate on the satisfactory condition of vehicles, the obligatory test certificate. It is necessary to have the Amendment to ensure that the provisions of Section 40 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, which confers power upon the police to require the production of test certificates, really bite in relation to vehicles which may become subject in the future to testing under the provisions of the new Clause which we shall propose, as do the provisions which require the production of a driver's certificate of insurance.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made; In page 18, line 33, leave out from "that" to end of line 34, and insert: the obligation to produce a certificate of insurance or similar document or a test certificate".—[Mr. Watkinson]

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
