HC Deb 08 July 1936 vol 314 cc1198-9
66. Mr. RICKARDS

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is now in a position to state what action he proposes to take with regard to the representations recently made to him by a deputation representing commercial travellers?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The United Commercial Travellers' Association of Great Britain and Ireland recently represented to me that commercial travellers who slightly adapted ordinary private cars to carry samples not for sale were placed under certain disabilities through having to take out "C" licences for their vehicles as if these vehicles were commercial vehicles. I have made regulations which will relieve this hardship.
