another one that's nice but requires deep pockets

[Tony Griffiths]

I asked the DVLA about making the numbers on my cars non transferable and drew the same blank as Hugh. Someone suggested at the time that the DVLA are interested in generating revenue. Could we suggest that we would be prepared to pay a fee to make the number non transferable?

If the DVLA really wanted to generate revenue, they could sell off numbers that have not been taxed for a set period. There must be hundreds of millions of pounds worth sitting idly by - through at the expense, of course, of somebody wanting a number original to their car being outbid. Let's hope it never happens?
