§ Lord Brougham and Vauxasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will support the proposals relating to the harmonisation of vehicle registration documents in the European draft directive on registration documents for motor vehicles and their trailers. [HL562]
§ Baroness HaymanThe Government support the proposed directive, which we believe to be a useful and practical measure to help enforcement authorities across the Community combat vehicle crime. In particular, we welcome the encouragement which the directive gives to the electronic exchange of vehicle registration information, as a means to combat the illegal transfer of vehicles between member states.
