Single Vehicle Approval Specifications

HL Deb 11 November 1997 vol 583 c18WA

The Earl of Haddington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer given by the Baroness Hayman on 30 October (WA 265-6), in relation to the consultation exercise on the amendment of the single vehicle approval specifications issued on 1 July 1997, whether they will place in the Library on 15 November a copy of any submissions received, and a copy of any amendments they wish to make of the specifications.

Baroness Hayman

To date, we have received some 900 representations, of which the majority are pre-printed duplicates. In the consultation document, we informed consultees that we might, if asked, divulge a summary of their responses, but not the actual text. We will not therefore be making the actual responses publicly available. In the light of this undertaking and given the large number of responses, it does not seem appropriate to place copies in the Library but once the response have been analysed we will write to the noble Earl with details of amendments proposed by consultees to the proposals on which we consulted.
