HL Deb 16 December 2003 vol 655 cc144-5WA
Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts

asked Her Majesty's Government: In what circumstances it was envisaged that the Secretary of State could have recorded further changes of vehicle keeper after he had issued a certificate of destruction under the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2635). [HL349]

Lord Davies of Oldham

Once a certificate of destruction ("CoD") has been issued for a vehicle there should be no further activity on the record—it is effectively deregistered. However, administrative arrangements will ensure that re-registration can take place where there has been a genuine mistake in the identity of the notified vehicle.
