HC Deb 05 December 1973 vol 865 c389W
60. Sir F. Corfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that motorists can obtain a replacement car registration book by stating that the original one has been lost ; and what steps he is taking to ensure that these claims are genuine and not the means of obtaining two sets of petrol coupons.

Mr. Peyton

Yes. In addition to the usual declaration of loss and undertaking to return the original if found, motorists are now required to declare whether coupons have been issued on the strength of the lost book ; in which case a note of this is made on the duplicate.
