Dear FOI FOI,

Whilst I thank you for the response to most of the questions, with regard to ‘1’, I again ask to be provided the cost of introducing the new style V5C that was issued following the 2001 loss/theft of registration documents. The new (2004?) styel WAS issued following the 2001 theft.
I have not stated that it was re-designed “due to” the 2001 theft of registration documents. I understand the new style was issued after the loss but do not know the specific date.

Yours sincerely,

Philip Swift

Dear FOI FOI,

thank you for the information:

"I can confirm that the total cost of the project and rollout of the 2004 registration documents was £14m, this covered the design, the IT changes to the system to capture the new information required under the EC Directive, the production of the certificates and the issue of over 17m documents.

Please note that the EC Directive code quoted in our first reply should have stated EC Directive 1999/37/EC. I apologise for this."

yours sincerely,

Philip Swift
