Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 9 November 2009.


Road Tax

Question
My Lords, in what language is the notice that is put on the windscreens of these vehicles?
Answer

The notices are not in Welsh because Welsh vehicles are not subject to this regime. In the early days of the scheme, notices in Polish and Lithuanian were put on cars, but as the European Union expanded further that was felt to be unnecessary and it has been replaced with a programme of education aimed at those local communities to ensure that their nationals are aware of the rules.
