§ 76. Mr. Holdsworthasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider making regulations extending the period of validity of road service licences for services operated by stage carriages from one year to three years, so as to relieve the operators of these services of the necessity of making application to the Traffic Commissioners every year?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, Sir. I propose to make regulations to this effect.
§ Mr. HoldsworthWhile thanking the right hon. Gentleman for his answer, may I ask if he can tell the House whether the licences in existence will be automatically extended, or whether new application will have to be made?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI should require notice of a question relating to the details.
