Lord Norton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issues new Vehicle Registration Documents (V5) to keepers of vehicles marked "stolen" on the DVLA computer before they contact the police or inform the applicant that the vehicle is registered as stolen; and [HL1274]

For each of 1997 and 1998, how many Vehicle Registration Documents (V5) have been issued to keepers of vehicles marked as "stolen" on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency computer. [HL1275]
