HC Deb 14 September 1914 vol 66 c759
14. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Home Secretary whether any arrangements have been made so that the licence of any licensed vehicle worker will not lapse in the event of the man being on active service at the War; and, if so, will he make the arrangements known among such as the tramwaymen?

Mr. McKENNA

Licences of men on active service will be allowed to lapse on expiry so as to save to friends the trouble and expense of keeping them alive, but special facilities will be afforded for renewal in all such cases when the licensee returns to civil life.

Mr. ROWLANDS

Will the right hon. Gentleman take an opportunity of letting the men holding those licences know that?

Mr. McKENNA

I think they are certain to see my hon. Friend's question and the answer I have given.
