For the purposes of this Part a person carries on business as a registration plate supplier if he—

3

The Secretary of State may by regulations provide for—

a

activities of a prescribed description to be treated for the purposes of this Part as not being activities which consist in selling registration plates;

b

persons of a prescribed description to be exempt persons for the purposes of this Part.

4

In this Part “registered” means registered in accordance with the provisions of this Part in a register established and maintained by the Secretary of State under section 18; and cognate expressions shall be construed accordingly.

18 Register of registration plate suppliers1

The Secretary of State shall establish and maintain a register of persons carrying on business as registration plate suppliers.

2

Each person’s entry in the register shall contain such particulars as may be prescribed.

3

The Secretary of State shall, subject to subsection (6) and such fee (if any) as may be prescribed, supply any person who has requested information contained in the register with the information that he has requested.

4

If the request is for information in the form of a copy (certified to be true) of the register or of an extract from it, the Secretary of State shall, subject to subsection (6) and such fee (if any) as may be prescribed, supply the information in that form.

5

Any such certified copy shall be evidence (or, in Scotland, sufficient evidence) of the matters mentioned in it.

6

The Secretary of State may by regulations specify—

a

descriptions of persons who are not entitled to be supplied with information under subsection (3); and

b

descriptions of information which shall not be supplied under that subsection.

7

The Secretary of State may make all of the information contained in the register or information so contained of a particular description available ... for use by constables for the purpose of investigating offences under this Part.

8

The Secretary of State may by regulations determine the circumstances in which any of the information to which constables have been given access under subsection (7) may be further disclosed by them.

b

recklessly makes a statement which is false in a material particular;

shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.

Where an order under section 20(1)(b) has effect in relation to a person who has been convicted of an offence under subsection (3), no application for registration shall be made by that person under subsection (1) in contravention of the order.

5

No application for registration shall be made under subsection (1) by a person while his registration is suspended by an order of a court under section 20(2).

6
