§ 66. Mr. Dayasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the fact that a person driving a motor car after the expiration of a licence lays himself liable to an offence under Section 4 (1) of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, he will consider introducing legislation or making regulations to the effect that all driving licences should expire on 31st December each year?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThis requirement would create congestion in licensing 1007 offices. I have arranged for reminders to be sent to holders of expiring driving licences.
§ Mr. DayCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether there will be any great difficulty seeing what is done with regard to renewing Inland Revenue licences?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThis would mean renewing 3,000,000 licences on the same day.
§ Mr. DayIs it not a fact that more than 3,000,000 Inland Revenue licences have to be issued on the same day?
