HC Deb 21 July 1998 vol 316 c461W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate he has made of the cost of introducing a mandatory mileage registration scheme for motor vehicles. [51178]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Although detailed costings have not been estimated, a mandatory requirement for the provision of mileage information on DVLA forms would have significant implications for the overall operating costs of the Agency's national vehicle register. Some 17 million transactions a year could be affected.
