Mr. Terry Davisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action he has taken as a result of the estimate made by the Chief Inspector of Weights and Measures for Kent, a copy of which has been sent to him, that as many as 50 per cent. of used cars sold in Great Britain have false mileages on the speedometers.
