Written question asked by Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Wednesday, 16 November 2011.


Transport: MoT Scheme

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the number of potential job losses as a consequence of their proposals to require biennial, rather than annual, MoT tests for motor vehicles more than three years old.
Answer

The Government intend to review the MoT test scheme. We have no preconceptions about the outcome of a review; the aim will be to strike the right balance between vehicle safety and the burden imposed on motorists by MoT test requirements. We will carry out a full consultation to allow interested groups to submit views and give evidence, which will be announced in due course.
