Proceeding contribution from Viscount Simon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

I shall be very brief. All vehicle examiners—be they police officers, from the Vehicle Inspectorate or whoever—are very highly trained. They will not put a vehicle off the road with a PG9 prohibition notice unless it is in a dangerous condition. Anyone who is driving a vehicle that is found to be in a dangerous condition has his own self to answer for.
