The Motor Salvage Operators Regulations 2002
Part 1 of the Vehicles (Crime) Act 2001 introduces powers to regulate the motor salvage industry and require motor salvage operators to register with local authorities and to keep records. These Regulations make detailed provision for the keeping of the register by local authorities; application by motor salvage operators for registration, and requirements for record keeping by registered persons. Non compliance with the record keeping requirements referred to in Regulation 5(6) of these Regulations will be an offence under section 7(4) of the 2001 Act. The power to register motor salvage operators is not a function of the local authority’s executive for the purposes of the Local Authorities (Functions and Responsibilities) (England) Regulations 2000.
