The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many illegal license plates have been seized by the police in each of the last five years.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Government is working closely with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) to improve the identification and enforcement of number plate crime.

We do not hold information centrally on illegal licence plate seizures.
