§ 28. Mrs. Sally Oppenheimasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will direct the working party, which he has set up to review the present vehicle-testing system, to bring forward proposals for improving the methods of discovering defects inherent in certain types of vehicles, and passing on such information to vehicle-testing stations.
§ Mr. PeytonYes, Sir.
§ Mrs. OppenheimI am very pleased with that answer. Does not my right hon. Friend agree, however, that as there are some faults common to certain models of cars, such as the rear subframe of the 1963 Morris 1100, which can collapse without warning, at great expense and personal danger to the owner, the two procedures for disseminating information to the vehicle testers are obviously inadequate, as is evidenced by the number of faulty subframes which are undetected in M.O.T. tests?
§ Mr. PeytonI am so glad to have given pleasure to my hon. Friend. As 423 to the dissemination of information, one of the problems of the modern world is that there is such a vast mass of information available, much of it totally useless, that the channels for disseminating it sometimes get slightly clogged.
