HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 cc108-9W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to seek to reduce mileage clocking fraud.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Mileage clocking fraud is a long-standing problem. There is no easy solution. It is one of a number of problems in the motor trade which I will be discussing next month with my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Corporate and Consumer Affairs, The Director General of Fair Trading and others.
