§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what sanctions there will be against testers of motor vehicles who issue certificates of dangerous unroadworthiness when these are not justified.
§ Dr. GilbertThe warning notice will not impose any further sanction on the motorist than that imposed by the test failure which will accompany it, but abuse of the MOT test procedures by authorised examiners can lead to the withdrawal of their authorisation.
§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to issue a written warning notice to testers, in which the tester concerned will state that in his view the vehicle is dangerously unroadworthy.
§ Dr. GilbertThese notices will form a part of the check list which will be completed by the MOT test examiner showing the result of each item of the test. I propose to introduce the system towards the end of this year.
