Vehicle Number Plates: Fraud
(asked on 24th July 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of trends in the number of cloned vehicles in the UK in the last five years.
This question was answered on 9th September 2019
The Department for Transport does not keep statistics on the number of cloned vehicles as this is a matter for the police.
If the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is notified of a suspected cloned vehicle, it will investigate and where appropriate, amend the vehicle record and issue a replacement vehicle registration number. The DVLA will also pass on any intelligence gathered to the police.
