HC Deb 18 May 1966 vol 728 c262W
91. Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will introduce legislation making it compulsory for the vendor of any secondhand motor car to produce a certificate of roadworthiness before the sale is completed.

Mr. Swingler

Under existing legislation it is an offence to sell, or to offer for sale, a motor vehicle which is not in a condition in which is could legally be used. But my right hon. Friend is keeping the position under review to see whether further measures should be taken.
