Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any proposals to review construction and use regulations relating to public service vehicles, with particular reference to the continuing use on such vehicles of aged critical parts which are incapable of in-service testing, such as tyres.
The ageing of vehicle parts is a complex matter, and whilst the Government does not currently have any proposals to amend construction and use regulations, it will continue to review scientific evidence to inform policy decisions.
