HC Deb 27 January 1987 vol 109 c177W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish up-to-date figures giving the number of vehicles with diplomatic registration and the number of alleged motoring offences committed by drivers of these vehicles, for each diplomatic mission.

Mr. Eggar

There are at present 3,970 cars with diplomatic registration. There were 77 offences in 1986. This represents a considerable reduction from earlier years.

Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Leicester, East on 22 January, he will now take steps to amend the London diplomatic list to include the full name and address of all spouses, children under 18 and those other relations covered by the Vienna convention of all diplomats registered and based in London.

Mr. Eggar

The London diplomatic list has existed in its present form for many years. It fulfils very well the function of providing basic information about senior officers of diplomatic missions in London.
