14. Mr. Andrew Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions he has had with motor manufacturers in the last year on improving the quality of car security.

Mr. John Patten

My right hon. and learned Friend has had no discussions with motor manufacturers in the last year but he has written recently to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders to invite them to discuss what more can be done by motor manufacturers to improve the quality of car security. I have also written to the Consumers Association to invite it to meet me to consider how consumer demand for improved car security can be encouraged.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received about the quality of car security.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received about the quality of car security.

Mr. John Patten

So far this year, we have answered two parliamentary questions, four letters from Members of Parliament and three letters from members of the public about car security. The parliamentary questions and one letter from a Member were concerned about the action taken by the motor manufacturers to improve the quality of car security.
