Road Safety Bill [HL]

I go around your Lordships’ House and when people ask me whether I have had a good summer, I say, ““I’ve had an absolutely fabulous summer in all respects””. This is a fabulous start to Committee stage. I am extremely grateful for the Minister’s comments. I was not aware of ongoing work. My amendment was not targeted at HGV testing but at car testing stations, where I suspect there is a greater problem for the reasons that the Minister described. I included HGV testing stations because I quoted Section 45 on car MoTs and Section 49 on goods vehicles MoTs just to be comprehensive. I am extremely grateful for the Minister’s response. With no hesitation, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 21 [Breach of requirements as to control of vehicle, mobile telephones etc.]:
