• MPs have been told about the problems of setting up a heavy goods vehicle testing station at Huddersfield in the West Riding.
Mr. Marsh said that the initial plan for the West Riding did not envisage a station at Hud-. dersfield. But the Corporation offered the use of facilities in its bus depot at Longroyd Bridge, which was accepted as very little capital outlay would have been involved in return for added convenience to operators in the area.
At the end of February this year, because of a proposed reorganization the Corporation had to withdraw the offer. In the circumstances the Ministry invited the operators' associations to suggest means by which facilities in the Huddersfield area could be provided without heavy capital outlay. He understood their inquiries were continuing, said Mr. Marsh.
Noting that between 6,000 and 7,000 vehicles would probably use a testing station if it were in Huddersfield, the Minister said the nearest testing station to the town was about 17 miles away, at Rothwell, Leeds.
Stations were also being provided at Walton (York), Steeton (Keighley), Doncaster, Sheffield, Bredbury and Heywood (Manchester).
