§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any evidence of a significant level of forgery of Road Fund licences, including minor forgeries such as the obliteration or alteration of the vehicle registration number on otherwise genuine licences.
§ Mr. PeytonThere were just over 13,000 police prosecutions for these offences in England and Wales in 1971. The present licence disc is not very easy to forge. I hope that the slightly different disc to be used when vehicle licensing is centralised will make it more so.
