HC Deb 24 March 1976 vol 908 c181W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will seek powers to prevent motorists whose vehicles have failed MOT tests from shopping around until they find an alternative garage which is prepared to grant them a certificate.

Dr. Gilbert

Motorists to whom a fault has been pointed out usually accept that it is in their own interests to have the vehicle repaired; those who believe it has been wrongly failed can and do resort to the appeals procedure.
