HC Deb 12 December 1972 vol 848 cc125-6W
Mr. Carter

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of the number of cars on United Kingdom roads without insurance cover.

Mr. Carlisle

No estimate can be made of the number of cars on the roads without insurance cover, but in 1971 in England and Wales 120,133 offences of using a motor vehicle uninsured against third party risks were dealt with by pro- secution and the police gave written warnings in respect of 3,358 alleged offences.
