HC Deb 25 October 1982 vol 29 c316W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has evidence that there is widespread avoidance of motor tax payments by itinerants.

Mrs. Chalker:

I have not received evidence of widespread avoidance of motor tax payments by itinerants. In the campaigns to counteract vehicle excise duty evasion we deal with all group of evaders.

Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will seek to provide more effective control machinery to assist the police to prosecute successfully in the case of motor tax avoidance offences committed by itinerants.

Mrs. Chalker:

I will answer this question shortly.
