§ Mr. Marksasked the Minister of Transport why he has withdrawn grant from the scheme for checking the efficiency of air pumps at petrol stations.
§ Mrs. Sally OppenheimI have been asked to reply.
The Department of Trade supported, and participated in, the setting up of the voluntary scheme for testing tyre pressure gauges (TYPEAC) in May 1979 but has never provided a grant towards it. The financial arrangements are a matter for those bodies participating in the scheme.
