Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Angela Watkinson (Conservative). It was answered by Paul Clark (Labour) on Thursday, 18 March 2010 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Vehicle Cloning

Question
If he will bring forward proposals to assist those whose vehicles have been illegally cloned.
Answer

We already assist victims of cloning and will give their vehicle a new registration, if appropriate. Number plate supply is tightly regulated to counter the availability of false number plates and prevent cloning. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has sponsored the development of a standard for theft-resistant number plates, which are now commercially available.
