    Andrew Stephenson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Stephenson on 2014-06-09.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department has taken to improve the reliability of tracking methodologies for foreign (a) registered and (b) unregistered vehicles in the UK.

    Stephen Hammond

    The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) receives information on foreign registered vehicles from the police and other enforcement agencies, as well as from members of the public. Other ways of obtaining this information are currently being explored.

    The DVLA has been working with the police to pilot a new enforcement process. This involves the DVLA providing the police forces with registration numbers of foreign registered vehicles which may have overstayed the six- month exemption period and where the keepers have not complied with UK requirements. This information enables the four police forces involved to seize and impound vehicles that have overstayed, where appropriate. If the pilot is successful, the DVLA will explore the potential for extending it to more police forces.

    The DVLA is also working with other government agencies to establish what other data might be used to track and identify over staying foreign registered vehicles.

    Andrew Stephenson – 2022 Comments Changing Support to Rishi Sunak in Conservative Leadership Contest

    The comments made by Andrew Stephenson, the Conservative MP for Pendle, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.

    Now Boris Johnson has ruled himself out it is essential that all Conservatives unite around a new leader & help them tackle the challenges we face.

    It’s clear the best person to unite the Party is Rishi Sunak. He can count on my full support as our Prime Minister and I will be voting for him.
