HC Deb 17 February 1965 vol 706 c227W
Mr. Francis Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Transport what reply he has given to the communication from the President of the Swindon and District Branch of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Great Britain and Northern Ireland regarding unroadworthy motor vehicles; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tom Fraser

My noble Friend has replied to my hon. Friend's letter of 10th February enclosing one sent to him by the Federation. I have no powers which would enable me to impose the requirements suggested, and no evidence to show that existing legal safeguards are inadequate to prevent the sale of defective vehicles.
