HC Deb 18 April 1988 vol 131 c367W
Mr. Warren

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will review safety and legal problems associated with the import of foreign cars for sale which do not carry spare wheels of the same design as those fitted to the vehicle.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

No. Regulations permit the use of spare wheels of different design on a temporary-use basis up to a maximum speed of 50 mph. We are not aware of safety or legal problems.
