HC Deb 15 March 1973 vol 852 c434W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what checks are made on motorways on the condition and pressure of motor vehicle tyres.

Mr. Peyton

For safety reasons vehicle checks are not carried out on motorways, but on the approach roads, and at service areas. Statistics on these checks—which include tyre condition, but not pressure—are not available.
