Jim Wallace: ... Aberdeen City 1 HM Prison, Aberdeen Aberdeenshire 4 HM Prison Peterhead Garages, Peterhead Garages, Peterhead Garages, Peterhead Angus 2 HM Prison Noranside Disused building, Noranside ...
Mr George Darling: ...the fees which will be paid for the testing of cars. I assume, from my reading of his new Clause, that drivers taking their cars to a testing station, whether it be a public station or a private garage which has been, so to speak, licensed for the purpose of testing, will pay fees. Is the Minister's view that the income from the fees will, over a period of years, cover the capital cost of...
Mr Frederick Erroll: ..., it would have exactly the opposite effect to that desired by its proposer, and, indeed, to that desired by hon. Members on this side of the House. Surely, the best way to bring down the rents of garages is by building more garages so that there is not so much competition for the space available. We on this side of the House fully realise that it is not practicable at the moment to build...
Baroness Blackstone: The prohibition as it affects garage premises does not prevent licensing authorities, as at present, from licensing the sale of alcohol at garages at which the primary use of the premises—in effect, the intensity of their use by customers—is not as a garage. The clause defines use as a garage if the premises are used for the retailing of petrol or derv, or the sale or maintenance of motor...
Mr Patrick McNair-Wilson: In sight of where I live in my constituency is the largest oil refinery in Britain—the Esso refinery at Fawley. The small garage that I normally use is an Esso garage. It is now closed from 10 am on Saturday until Monday. Its supplies have been cut drastically. The reason for that is that when the price-cutting war took place about a year ago small garages were unable to cut their prices...
Sir Gerald Nabarro: Is my hon. Friend, as a Conservative Member of Parliament, really seeking to espouse the cause of a couple of little garages which are afraid of another garage firm, namely, Lex Garages? Is he afraid of competition between garages?
Lord Bradshaw: To ask Her Majesty's Government, in 2008, 2009 and 2010, (a) how many garages were authorised to carry out MoTs, (b) how many garages and tests were monitored, (c) how many garages and tests failed their monitoring, and (d) how many garages had their authorisation to carry out MoTs withdrawn.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: Garages conducting such modifications to particulate filters are generally not MOT garages – and so the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) would not consider such a database to be of value. Where the garage making modifications is an authorised MOT garage, DVSA will take appropriate action against them.
Mr Max Madden: As has been said, this whole matter is shrouded in uncertainty. I hope that my hon. Friend will be able to remove some of the uncertainty about the position of garages, a point which has been brought to my attention. These are in particular garages belonging to properties which are themselves connected to the main sewerage and water, and garages the owners of which have been levied for water...
Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: Is my right hon. Friend aware that there is not much point in asking local authorities to erect multi-storey garages or any other garages unless adequate notices are provided so that motorists know where the garages are? Will my right hon. Friend do his utmost to emphasise to local authorities the importance of providing adequate directions for motorists to enable them to park their cars in...
Sir Harry Hylton-Foster: ...mentioned in subsection (3) of section two of the Transport Act, 1947 (which relates to the carrying on by the Commission of the activities of undertakings acquired by them), was the provision of a garage for the passengers of the undertaking and for other persons making use of the services of the undertaking, the Commission shall have power notwithstanding anything contained in this Act...
Stephen Ladyman: The IT system for MOT tests was rolled out to garages between 18 April 2005 and 29 March 2006. During this period of 378 operational days there has not been an entire day when the system has been unavailable to all garages on-line. There have been 28 days when a technical problem affecting 10 or more garages occurred. For 20 of these 28 days, at least 95 per cent. of garages on-line...
Sir Walter Monckton: Perhaps, without notice, it is easier for me to deal with garages than with exact figures, if that will help the hon. Gentleman sufficiently. The strike was at 43 garages out of a total of 113, and the position early this morning was that work had been resumed at 15 of the 43 garages affected. It is understood that 14 of the remaining 28 garages have decided to resume work tomorrow. I do not...
...scheme work efficiently by introducing measures to improve standards. We decided that the latter course was right in that it was better that there should be a very large number, over 20,000, of garages efficiently carrying out vehicle testing, not least from the point of view of the convenience of motorists who would have to travel a distance to get their cars tested if the number of...
Mr Christopher York: I tried to interrupt my right hon. Friend, but he would not give way to me, as I did to him. I want to put a hypothetical question, purely for information, about the garage proprietor, with whom he dealt so cavalierly. Suppose the garage had been taken over, on requisitioning, by some large engineering firm, making some such thing as tanks or aeroplanes. The tools in that garage would be...
Mr Fergus Montgomery: ...purposes such as children's playgrounds or places for the recreation of the elderly is likely to be misused. Some time ago Mr. Bullock wrote to Newcastle Town Hall submitting a plan to erect a garage in the garden of his house. Mr. Bullock is a council house tenant. After submitting his plan to the town hall, Mr. Bullock was given a tracing of the area in which he lived and was told to...
Mr Gilbert Mitchison: I have often heard that truth was to be found at the bottom of a well, but I never expected to look for it with such certainty in a garage. I understand that the official view is that if the motorist says, "I have a previous arrangement", and the garage says, "No, you have not", the motorist is then liable to proceedings, in which no doubt someone from the garage would be called upon to give...
Robert Halfon: Will the Leader of the House find time for a debate on the kite mark standard for British car garages, which I raised in my early-day motion 376? [That this House believes that the British Standards Institution (BSI) Kitemark for Garage Services is a good step forward in supplying formal recognition of the good workmanship of some garages and their value for money; notes research which shows...
Amendment No. 72 relates to the garaging of private vehicles. It is for an environmental reason that I ask that garages attached to domestic hereditaments should be excluded from rating valuation. It is a good thing for a person, when possible, to build a totally enclosed garage for the garaging of a private vehicle. We need only to look around council or private housing estates to see how...
Mr George Darling: Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that I have visited this garage and that it is being used as a garage at the moment, even though it is not a public garage? Is he aware that in it there are quite a number of Ministry of Education vehicles? They are covered with dust, having been there for months and months waiting to be sold. Is he aware that this building could be used as a public garage...
