HC Deb 17 February 1972 vol 831 c156W
Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, as part of his consideration of the question, he will consider seeking powers to ensure that the registration books of vehicles which have been written off by insurance companies as a total loss are handed in to the licensing authorities and only reissued when the rebuilt vehicle has been certified as roadworthy by a competent vehicle inspector.

Mr. Peyton

Yes.
