HC Deb 25 May 1966 vol 729 c104W
89. Mr. Strauss

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will take steps to include the examination of tyres in the compulsory testing of cars.

Mr. Swingler

Yes. My right hon. Friend intends to circulate proposals soon, for amendments of the Construction and Use Regulations to lay down more precise requirements on the condition of tyres used on vehicles. The amended regulations will provide a basis for including inspection of tyres in the test.
