§ 10. Sir Fergus Montgomeryasked the Secretary of State for Transport what response he has received to his draft conditions for authorisation of Ministry of Transport testing stations, issued in May 1985.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI recognise that the revised conditions published last May would have caused major difficulties for some existing testers. My right hon. Friend and I therefore announced new conditions on October 4, which I am confident will largely cut out the need for costly alterations to test bays and buildings for existing businesses. This has been widely welcomed.
