1388. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has satisfied himself that the equipment (details supplied) selected for use in the conducting of drug tests for drivers is fit for purpose, in view of the manufacturer's warning that accuracy is affected in temperatures less than five degrees.

The testing and approval of equipment for use in preliminary drug testing is the statutory responsibility of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety. I have therefore referred the Question to the Bureau for direct response. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
