My company just recently asked all staff to complete a form with details of Tax/ Mot etc for the same purpose. As I pointed out to HR, it was a pretty useless exercise for a number of reasons - not least being that, if they were not going to check up or require confirmation when the Mot/tax was next due, it wasnt worth the time / effort and paper involved.
Such checks are the result of the lazy, thoughtless implementation of safety management systems by people who are too stupid to understand the implications of what they are getting people to do. It really is representative of a "box ticking" mentality which, a), drives people mad, b) doesnt achieve what should be the true aim of reducing risk and, c), results in people wasting time/money / energy in writing angry emails like this. 
Rant over - will get my coat now.....
