HC Deb 06 May 1964 vol 694 c158W
30. Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will require a new certificate of road worthiness to be produced for cars written-off by insurance companies after an accident before these cars are re-sold to the public.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

My right hon. Friend has no powers which would enable him to impose that requirement. Furthermore we have no evidence to show that existing legal safeguards against the sale of defective vehicles are inadequate.
