A number of prohibitions were admitted; out of 24 vehicles examined there had been four immediate and five delayed GV9s and in one instance a vehicle had nine defects although allegedly examined fully only three weeks previously. An assurance was given that responsibility for checking final work would henceforward be handled by a qualified mechanic.
