Is there a cloud that still hangs over the Motor Codes, according to Which its not yet a done deal

"Commenting on the recent launch of the website www.motorindustrycodes.co.uk, Which? motoring editor Richard Headland said that the Motor Industry Code of Practice for Service and Repair is the last opportunity for the sector to get its house in order - or else face legislation. Supporting Motor Codes' aim of improving levels of customer service, the motorist's' watchdog pointed out that although it was still less than a year old, the Code has made good progress. However, he fears that unless more garages embrace it, government will take action through legislation"

I am not sure how many members are currently in the scheme, but there are 18,000 plus Independents in the UK. When the scheme was launched last year the majority of the members seemed to be Franchised Dealerships, did they know about the scheme or were they Block entered into the scheme, as it now transpires that the new codes has links with SMMT as James points out. Motor Codes needs to get the vast majority of the Independents to sign......will this ever happen without legislation?
