HC Deb 02 December 1969 vol 792 c243W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Minister of Transport why the instructions issued by his Department covering vehicle testing on machines over a certain age do not cover the checking of instruments, including the speedometer.

Mr. Murray

The vehicle test scheme concentrates on those items likely to have the greatest impact on road safety. The more comprehensive goods vehicle test does include a check on audible warning instruments.
