HC Deb 19 July 1994 vol 247 c89W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 13 June,Official Report, column 521, what encouragement is being given to car dealers to join the automatic first registration and licensing scheme.

Mr. Key

Trade associations which have co-operated with the Department on the development of the scheme report enthusiasm for it among their members and anticipate a high take-up rate. A number of manufacturers are keen to become involved. Press releases and articles on the initial pilot under way in Bristol will be issued and further publicity will coincide with the extension of the scheme nationwide early next year.
