§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what proposals he has to legislate to prevent cars from being rebuilt from remnants of vehicles involved in accidents. [45161]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonWe have no plans at present to introduce such legislation. We believe that the voluntary Code of Practice on the disposal of vehicle salvage introduced by the motor insurance industry a few years ago is helping to ensure that very seriously accident damaged vehicles are not returned to the road. However, we will keep the possible need for additional regulation in this area under review.
