Written question asked by Louise Ellman (Labour) on Thursday, 11 November 2010, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 16 November 2010. It was answered by Mike Penning (Conservative) on Tuesday, 16 November 2010 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Motor Vehicles: Testing

Question
(2) what plans he has for the future of the MOT Scheme; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

Although I am aware of the 2008 evidence, I intend to review the MOT test scheme using the latest information available. However, the Department for Transport has no specific proposals at this stage and no preconceptions about the outcome. The aim of the review will be to strike the right balance between vehicle safety and the burden imposed on motorists by MOT test requirements.I expect to make an announcement about the timing and scope of the review in due course and there will be an opportunity for anyone with an interest to contribute to the debate.
