Mr. Boateng

Customs records of the number of vehicles seized do not disaggregate between the nature of the offences, the type of vehicle or the origin of the vehicle in each case.

For the number of vehicles seized by Customs in 2000–01, I refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Aylesbury (Mr. Lidington) on 30 October 2001, Official Report, column 625W.

For the number of vehicles seized by Customs in 1998–99 and 1999–2000, I refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Hamilton, South (Mr. Tynan) on 8 January 2001, Official Report, column 794W.
