§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that unlicensed road vehicles, such as a commercial van numbered 4797 PG, are being used for robberies because the ownership of same is untraceable due to non-registration and non-licensing; and how many of the vehicles used in robberies where cars and vans were used were unlicensed.
§ Mr. SharplesThe Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis tells me he has no reason to believe that unregistered or unlicensed vehicles are being increasingly used for crime. The detailed information requested is not readily available.
