Mr. Harry Lee:

I thank Deputy Robert Troy for bringing up this matter because I realise I did not respond to Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice. On imports, there is not a full history. What I am talking about in respect of vehicles being brought into the country and tested does not relate soley to what is tested in the NCT but also repairs. When imports are brought to the NCT centre, as well as what is tested for routinely, they should be checked to see if there is any indication of repairs having been carried out. It is the same in England. A percentage of vehicles do not go through the insurance system; therefore, there is no paper trail. When a vehicle is brought in from abroad, not just from the United Kingdom but from further afield, there is no paper trail.
