§ Mr. MillsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action he will take to prevent the sale of structurally damaged car tyres from accident write-off cars at car boot sales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleI propose to go out to public consultation later this year on proposed safety regulations to be made under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 which will supplement that Act by making it an offence to sell or otherwise supply in the course of business any used car, motorcycle or retread tyre that is defective.
