HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 cc308-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain on how many occasions a maroon coloured 13 cwt. van registration No. 4797PG and a green Bedford 5-ton lorry registration No. 162RKP were reported to his Department or his agents who enforce matters connected with road excise licensing; and what action was taken prior to these vans being used in the recent Croydon robbery.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

I understand that neither vehicle has been reported for vehicle excise offences. Both were licensed until they were sold earlier this year.
