Motor Vehicle Mileages

Mr. Skeet
asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, on annual re-registration for MOT and third party insurance, he will include a record of the total mileage reached at the date of registration so that frauds induced by false speedometer readings may be obviated.

Mr. Horam
No. To do so would be expensive, would put motorists to extra trouble, and would be unlikely to he very effective.
