§ Mr. Andersonasked the Minister of Transport whether she is satisfied with the effectiveness of the methods of testing for the Ministry of Transport certificate of reliability of motor vehicles, particularly the testing of the braking system, in view of a case submitted to her by the hon. Member for Monmouth; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mrs. CastleI am satisfied that the methods of testing employed are adequate to show whether the statutory requirements are met. Under these methods the brakes are closely inspected, even though all parts of the system are not actually dismantled.
I will write to my hon. Friend about the particular case to which he refers as soon as enquiries have been completed.
