§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received about the Vehicle Crime (Registration of Registration Plate Suppliers) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations. [110506]
§ Mr. JamiesonI have been asked to reply
The regulations referred to introduce a minor amendment to correct a drafting error in the Vehicles Crime (Registration Plate Suppliers) (England and Wales) Regulations.
The register of number plate suppliers has been operational since 1 January and over 30,000 retail outlets have registered. We have received numerous requests for clarification, but all the indications are that businesses are adjusting their procedures to comply with the new regulations.
