HC Deb 27 March 1939 vol 345 cc1704-5
39. Mr. Day

asked the Postmaster-General the number of wireless-receiving licences in force in this country as at the last convenient date; and are any separate figures kept for wireless-receiving sets on motor-vehicles?

Major Tryon

The number of wireless-receiving licences in force in this country at the end of February was approximately 8,944,000. Separate figures are not kept of licences for wireless-receiving sets on motor vehicles.

Mr. Day

When motor-car wireless-receivers are licensed does the registration number of the car appear on the licence?

Major Tryon

Perhaps the hon. Member will kindly put that question down.
