The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the level of use of infra-red reflective number plates.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is working with the National Police Chiefs’ Council, various police forces and Trading Standards in relation to the supply and use of infra-red number plates. Work is ongoing to quantify the number of illegal number plates that are in circulation. The evidence gathered will support future initiatives needed to address this issue.
