Electric grant criticised
29 July 2010

Transport Secretary Philip Hammond confirmed on 28 July that from next year, motorists will be entitled to a ‘Plug-In Car Grant’ of up to £5000. However, the MCI has since discovered that electric two-wheelers are specifically denied any benefit under the terms of the grant.

AVCIS, the Association of Chief Police Officer’s Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service, has applauded the Government’s decision to introduce a new version of the V5C document. This move follows the theft of a large number of blank V5C vehicle ‘Registered Keeper’ documents in 2006 and there is concern that there may be a significant number of these logbooks still in circulation. To date, AVCIS has recovered in excess of 1330 vehicles with a value of more than £15 million.
