HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 c392W
Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce a shock absorber test in the certificate of roadworthiness test.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Shock absorbers are checked in the tests of public service and heavy goods vehicles. In the car test a certificate is not issued if their condition makes steering or brakes defective.
