answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2019 answer text <p>Legislation relating to the display of registration numbers and number plates already exists and enforcement is an operational matter for the police. Successful prosecution depends on the police sighting the vehicle on the public highway and establishing that an offence has been committed. Number plate offences are also included in the Home Office’s fixed penalty system. This provides the police with a practical and effective means of enforcement. The police can also remove any vehicle that is causing an obstruction, is likely to cause danger or is broken down or abandoned without lawful authority.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have legislative powers to fine garages for leaving two or more vehicles advertised for sale on the road.</p><p> </p><p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is responsible for enforcement against unlicensed vehicles and has legislative powers to clamp or remove such vehicles from public roads.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 05/08/2019 15:15:28 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
