Clause 36 - Particulars to be included in vehicles register
Road Safety Bill
12:00 pm
Mr Greg Knight (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; East Yorkshire, Conservative)
Does the Minister accept that there may be some cases in which a reduction in mileage is innocent? A friend of mine used to run—he may still run it—a Rover P5B 3.5 litre coupe, which was the same model of Rover car that Harold Wilson used when he was Prime Minister. The speedometer on the vehicle ceased to work. He could not buy a new one, but he managed to obtain a working replacement speedometer from a scrap yard which allowed him to continue to run the car. However, the mileage was different.
