§ 8. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Assistant Postmaster-General in how many cases the Post Office refused to renew wireless licences during May in order to charge the extra 10s. which became due on 1st June.
§ Mr. BurkeNone, Sir. As my hon. Friend explained in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Renton) on 20th June, broadcast receiving licences are valid up to and including the last day of a calendar month. Licences due for renewal before 1st June were properly charged at the old rate of 10s.; those due for renewal on or after 1st June were properly charged for at the new rate of £1.
