HC Deb 16 February 1979 vol 962 cc668-9W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what enforcement action is taken in the United Kingdom against motor vehicles registered abroad displaying no nationality plates and vehicles registered in the United Kingdom displaying foreign nationality plates.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Information about the number of prosecutions brought by the police in the circumstances described in the first part of the question is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The circumstances described in the second part of the question do not appear to involve a breach of the law.
