§ Mr. Roseasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied with the existing arrangements for Ministry of Transport vehicle testing; and what proposals he has to ensure a full test of all those items including bodywork which can be a potential source of danger.
§ Mr. PeytonI am examining ways of improving the MOT scheme in conjunction with EEC proposals for harmonising vehicle inspection arrangements within the Community. I have to consider what contribution an extended test would make to the saving of road casualties as well as the cost to the motorist.
