HC Deb 20 July 1908 vol 192 c1484
SIR F. DIXON-HARTLAND (Middlesex, Uxbridge)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is proposed to arrange that county councils may use the post offices in their various counties in connection with the collection of the duties referred to in Clause 6 of the Finance Bill, 1908.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd-George,) Carnarvon Boroughs

Yes, it is the intention that post offices should be available for the sale of the licences in question on behalf of county councils in England and and Wales.

SIR F. DIXON-HARTLAND

Will the notices go out through the Post Office or will the county councils have to send them?

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

The county councils will send the notices out and the Post Office will receive the money.

Sir F. DIXON-HARTLAND

But previously the notices were sent out by the Post Office?

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

Oh, no!
