§ Mr. Barry FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will take steps to link garages licensed to administer the MOT test to the driver and vehicle licensing centre at Swansea;
(2) if he will amend the conditions attached to MOT certificates so that they (a) show mileage, (b) are displayed on the vehicle, (c) accommodate 10 years of embossed garage stamps and (d) are recorded at the driver and vehicle licensing centre.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyMOT certificates already show mileage. A certificate must be produced to obtain a vehicle excise licence at each subsequent licensing after a test has first become due. Licences are displayed on vehicles. I shall consider my hon. Friend's suggestions in the context of my discussions next month with my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Corporate and Consumer Affairs, the Director General of Fair Trading and others.
