§ Mr. Wallerasked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent delays have occurred in supplying forms to MoT test centres; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyI apologise for the delays.
The average time taken to handle requests for test certificates increased from two to six working days. Extra staff have now been put on the work. The service will soon be back to normal.
Authorised examiners who have run out of test certificates can obtain supplies from the district offices of the Department's vehicle inspectorate.
