§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take steps to change the MOT test 93W so that passing the same guarantees roadworthiness of the vehicle concerned.
§ Dr. GilbertThe MOT test checks those items which are most critical for the safety of a vehicle; its roadworthiness is the continuous responsibility of its owner. No practicable scheme of statutory testing could do more than provide a periodic check of the way in which that responsibility is discharged.
