Number Plates Intended to Defeat Enforcement Cameras
Lord McLoughlin Excerpts(1 day, 12 hours ago)
Lords ChamberRead Full debate Read Hansard Text Read Debate Ministerial Extracts
Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill (Lab)
That is a very good point. The legality of number plates is checked during MoT inspection, but my understanding is that many of those who use false number plates have a proper set for the MoT or other examination and an illegal set which they then change afterwards.
Lord McLoughlin (Con)
My Lords, bearing in mind that the Question relates to enforcement cameras, would the Minister like to inform the House as to the reliability of those cameras, bearing in mind the recent story about Highways England failing to monitor them correctly?
Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill (Lab)
I refer the noble Lord to Hansard for yesterday, when we discussed precisely that issue at Questions.
