HC Deb 05 December 1962 vol 668 c182W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Transport what recent tests have been carried out on road haulage vehicles in respect of their braking power and the ability to stop them in emergencies when travelling at the maximum permitted speeds and fully loaded.

Mr. Marples

Testing goods vehicles on the road is a normal part of the duties of my vehicle examiners and the brakes of laden vehicles have been given particular attention recently.
