HC Deb 25 May 1976 vol 912 c177W
Mr. Bagier

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total number of private motor cars in the United Knigdom, registered in a company name with (a) current licences and (b) registered for the first time in each of the years 1970 to 1975.

Mr. Marks

It is estimated that 10 per cent. of the currently licensed private cars—14.1 million—are registered in a company name. In 1975 the new registrations in company name accounted for 37 per cent. of the total new private car registrations of 1.2 million. No figures are available for earlier years.
