HC Deb 13 January 1978 vol 941 c843W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for 'Transport (1) what steps he is taking in order to ensure that motor vehicles are not used on public roads without a road fund licence; (2) what is his estimate of the total amount of revenue lost to Her Majesty's Government by reason of individuals failing to take out road fund licences.

Mr. William Rodgers

Enforcement action taken last year on more than a million reports led to £51 million in fines and mitigated penalties in lieu of prosecution. I shall shortly have a report on an up-to-date survey of the present level of evasion, and I have measures in mind if that shows them to be necessary.
