HC Deb 22 January 1958 vol 580 c1048
50. Mr. Strauss

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what further discussions have taken place about the initiation of the scheme for the compulsory inspection of cars, and with whom; whether any decisions have now been arrived at; and how and when the scheme will be operated.

Mr. Watkinson

Further discussions have taken place with the motoring organisations and with bodies representing motor traders who will be eligible for appointment as authorised examiners. The discussions with these and all other interested parties should be concluded within the next few weeks, and I expect to be in a position before Easter to inform the House of my general proposals for bringing the scheme into effect.
