§ Mr. Roger Kingasked the Secretary of State for Transport how many convictions have been obtained in each of the last three years for the use of forged Ministry of Transport vehicle test certificates.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI have been asked to reply.
The available information is for findings of guilt at magistrates' courts for all vehicle test certificate offences and is published annually in "Offences Relating to Motor Vehicles, England and Wales, Supplementary Tables" (table 5 of the issue for 1983); offences involving the use of forged Ministry of Transport vehicle test certificates cannot be separately identified.
