HC Deb 17 July 1980 vol 988 c666W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Minister of Transport what consideration he has given to the use of a validation sticker on car number plates instead of the present tax disc system.

Mr. Fowler

I am certainly aware of vehicle registration systems which use validation stickers on number plates. They are widely used in the United States and we are currently examining whether there might be advantages in using them in this country.
