§ Mr. David Clarkasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many cars he estimates have been sold illegally since 1st July, 1972 because they do not satisfy fully the regulations appertaining to burst-proof door locks; and how many of these cars are of British manufacture.
§ Mr. PeytonFive manufacturers including one British were unable to mark their vehicles to show that they comply with the regulations, although they meet all the safety requirements. This temporary situation has resulted from delays in documentation. No estimate can be made at this stage of the number of vehicles involved but the number is likely to be small.
