Transport written question – answered at on 6 March 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many and what proportion of non-UK registered vehicles were physically checked by (a) the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency and (b) the police for compliance with hours rules and Working Time Directive regulations over the past five years; and how many and what proportion of these were found not to be in compliance with (i) one and (ii) both sets of regulations.
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) publish enforcement data annually in their Effectiveness Report which is available on www.vosa.gov.uk and in the House of Commons Library, Business and Transport Section.
Data is not collected centrally on checks conducted by the police. The Home Office publication of prosecutions for motoring offences gives the prosecutions for certain offences but does not differentiate between UK and non-UK registered vehicles.
