(asked on 18th December 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of trends in the misuse of number plates to evade enforcement.
This question was answered on 5th January 2026
The Department for Transport does not hold the information requested. On-road enforcement of number plate offences is a matter for the police.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is working with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and others to improve the identification and enforcement of number plate crime, including the use of cloned and ghost number plates.
