asked the Secretary of State for Transport when, and in which areas, it is intended to conduct a survey into the incidence of repairs carried out on motor cars which have been classified for insurance purposes as write-offs; and whether he will make a statement.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given earlier today to the hon. Members for Flint, West (Sir A. Meyer) and Brentwood and Ongar (Mr. McCrindle).
