Mr Major’s Written Question on Cherished Number Plates – 5 July 1982

Below is the text of Mr Major’s Parliamentary written question on Cherished Number Plates, published on 5th July 1982.


Mr. Major Asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current charge for transferring a cherished motor car number plate; and if he will reduce this sum.

Mrs. Chalker The present fee of £50 was set in 1977. Over the coming months I hope to improve the cherished number arrangements and I shall be considering what level of fee will then be appropriate.
