Mr. Alfred Morris
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied that all vehicles issued by the Government to disabled drivers satisfy Government safety regulations; what tests were undertaken in the presence of officials from his Department during 1973 by the Motor Industries Research Association; and if he will publish any recommendations that they made.
Mr. Peyton
The vehicles comply generally with the safety requirements, but tests are continuing to determine whether modifications, particularly the positioning of the petrol tank, are desirable. Meanwhile, I cannot add to what was said about the MIRA tests by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State on 5th and 6th November last.—[Vol. 863, c. 90; Vol. 863, c. 150.]
