HC Deb 05 February 1964 vol 688 cc154-5W
47. Mr. Carmichael

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that on certain occasions police evidence in the courts invalidates vehicle test certificates; what action he takes on such occasions to satisfy himself that the certificates were properly issued; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marples
