Jim Mitchell
Question:5 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that some car owners who purchase new cars in the latter months of the calendar year have been known to defer registration of the car until the start of the year; if he will outline the way in which this practice is permitted; if he considers that it is an abuse; and if he will outline the steps, if any, he proposes to take to bring this to an end.
