HC Deb 12 July 1967 vol 750 cc75-6W
65. Mr. Younger

asked the Minister of Transport whether she is satisfied that official testing of road vehicles over three years old is always carried out to the correct standards; and if she will make a statement.

Mrs. Castle

I would refer the hon. Member to the recent White Paper "Road Safety—A Fresh Approach". I am completing a check on the standards maintained by garages who operate within the annual car-testing scheme. If this shows that continuing complaints about the scheme are justified, the scheme's wide basis of operation will be reviewed.
