The report that was commissioned by the RSA and carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers into commercial vehicle roadworthiness, which was published in 2007, highlights some specific areas that this legislation tackles. The report found that commercial vehicle testing was being provided by 158 independent operators and regulated by 30 bodies. That makes it virtually impossible for uniform testing of commercial vehicles to be carried out. Roadside vehicle inspections in 2010 and 2011 found that near enough to half of the vehicles tested had defects. More worryingly, it was found in these vehicle inspections that almost 40% of commercial vehicles in 2010 and 32% in 2011 had defects that were so serious that they warranted immediate action, including impoundment, repair on-site or a new test. As the Minister outlined in his address, overall responsibility for commercial vehicle road-testing remains with himself as Minister. He also said he intended to confer responsibility for monitoring and enforcement of standards on the RSA, which I welcome. The conferring of those responsibilities on one single authority rather than the local authorities should go some way towards reducing the inconsistencies that may have existed in commercial vehicle testing and increasing the roadworthiness of these vehicles, which will ultimately reduce the number of road accidents involving buses, lorries and so on. The fact that the Bill introduces powers of enforcement that allow for roadside inspection of commercial vehicles is a welcome step that should further improve standards among commercial vehicles by ensuring continuous compliance. Improved enforcement of inspections of test centres that carry out the commercial vehicle roadworthiness, CVR, test should also help to improve the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles.
