Registration Bill Reading Postponed Again
Published: 24th March 2006
The Second Reading of the Vehicle Registrations Marks Bill, scheduled to take place on 17 March, was postponed for a second time due to time restrictions in the House of Commons.
The Second Reading is now planned to take place on Friday 16 June 2006.
The Bill, which is strongly backed by the RMIF’s Cherished Numbers Dealers Association (CNDA), proposes to allow third parties to be named as the grantee on retention certificates at the time of initial assignment from a vehicle to a certificate.
The proposed changes would reduce bureaucracy for businesses, enable greater choice for the consumer and offer more protection to members of the public purchasing numbers on Certificate.
‘Unfortunately on this occasion the House ran out of time before the second reading could take place. However, we are confident that the Bill will attract the support needed to be successful,’ said Justin Tidmarsh, head of the CNDA.
He added: ‘The postponement allows more time for interested parties to appeal for support of the Bill and members that have not already done so are encouraged to write to their local MP to encourage them to lobby the Minister of Transport.’
