HC Deb 01 February 1937 vol 319 c1277
24. Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the Postmaster-General why certain post offices in Scotland are not authorised to issue renewals of motor licences; and whether, on account of the inconvenience and surprise thus caused to Scotsmen anxious to pay cash to the State, he will take immediate steps to rectify the position?

Major Tryon

In Scotland, as in other parts of the United Kingdom, the issue of motor vehicle licences is confined to the larger post offices, on account of the complicated nature of the work involved.
