I asked the Minister if the NTA would have the power to introduce by-laws for congestion charges. Section 2(h) proposes to insert a subsection (15) into section 13, which would immediately revoke or suspend a licence where a vehicle fails a vehicle standards inspection test. The effect of this would be that the vehicle that fails a vehicle standards inspection test cannot be used as an SPSV during that appeal period. I asked how defective a vehicle must be before it is failed. I trust it will not be over a lightbulb or something like that.
