Written Question
Vehicle Number Plates: Fraud
Thursday 20th March 2025

Asked by: Sarah Coombes (Labour - West Bromwich)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the use of modified number plates designed to evade detection by automatic number plate recognition cameras on levels of crime.

Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)

The cloning and defacing of number plates is illegal. We are working with the police, the DVLA and other partners to crack down on these crimes.

We have begun work on a new Road Safety Strategy, the first in over a decade, which aims to reduce road deaths and prevent related crime.
