The Marquess of Ailesbury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans to make vehicle number plates more easy to read.

Viscount Goschen

Yes. There are plans to introduce new standards, including a character font, for vehicle number plates to improve legibility, and to reduce the scope for misrepresentation. The necessary legislation is expected to be brought before the House later this year.
