§ 1. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that there are many vehicles being driven on the roads today without current road worthy test certificates; and why he will not seek further powers to ensure that all vehicles due for road tests are actually tested.
§ Mr. MurrayWe consider existing powers are adequate. The test certificate regulations are actively enforced and maximum penalties are already substantial.
§ 2. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport whether he will give the reasons why he will not seek to make regulations to ensure that all vehicles liable to a road test should exhibit their current test certificate alongside their road fund licence, or for a joint road fund licence test certificate to be issued on licensing of the vehicle.
§ Mr. MurrayWe are not satisfied that the costs of administration and enforcement would be justified by the results.
