I wonder what they are up to? Is there an ulterior motive behind this?

Whilst healthy suspicion is always advisable, I think that a review could be beneficial. At present, if you changed you side valve engine for a V8, you would keep your registration number (subject to some conditions), but if converted your Minor to electric power, then the registration number would be voided and you would be awarded a Q-plate. That does seem a little illogical, so a review might help to resolve such issues.

"They are " seeking expert knowledge".."
Hence my scepticism. I think we all know what so- called "experts" are like. 8)

Hi

Phew, that was some survey, though some of it repeated the same questions!!

I suppose it's nice to be asked, provided we are listened to but if we don't express our opinions, how can anyone take notice? I don't think the self styled Welsh Government would bother to ask, if they had control over this matter.
