§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied that all vehicles issued by the Government to disabled drivers satisfy Government safety regulations; what tests were undertaken in the presence of officials from his Department during 1973 by the Motor Industries Research Association; and if he will publish any recommendations that they made.
§ Mr. PeytonThe vehicles comply generally with the safety requirements, but tests are continuing to determine whether modifications, particularly the positioning of the petrol tank, are desirable. Meanwhile, I cannot add to what was said about the MIRA tests by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State on 5th and 6th November last.—[Vol. 863, c.90; Vol. 863, c. 150.]
