§ Mr. Evennettasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he considers his Department's vehicle test in its present form to be a satisfactory assessment of vehicle safety; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerYes. The statutory roadworthiness tests which apply to passenger vehicles, goods vehicles and motor cycles each cover the important vehicle safety features. Although changes in detail are made from time to time, I do not think a more comprehensive test would be justified.
