§ Mr. Andersonasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has completed the review of the rules governing the transfer of vehicle registration marks; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersYes. I have decided to make two changes to the rules with effect from 1st March. First, the period for which the donor vehicle must be registered in the applicant's name under the mark to be transferred will be reduced from nine months to three. Second, in addition to the present arrangements marks will be transferable from all vehicles—except those for which there is an HGV or PSV licence—to cars, though not vice versa.
