§ 28. Captain ELLISTONasked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange for the extension of motor-car licences expiring on 30th September for a further period of one month on payment of a proportionate additional charge?
Mr. STANLEYThe owner of a motorcar who takes out a licence for the period 1st October to 31st December can surrender it on the 31st October and obtain a refund of two-thirds of the duty paid less a surrender fee of 10s. I cannot see my way to complicate the licensing system by making special arrangements for the extension of licences expiring on the 30th September in the manner suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend.
