53. Mr. Enrollasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the granting of a motor vehicle licence will in future be dependent upon answering 947 the questions in the revised vehicle licence application form No. R.F.I.A. which relate to the licensing of the vehicle's radio set.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydAn applicant is required to furnish such particulars as may be prescribed, and unless those particulars are furnished a council can refuse to issue a licence.
§ Mr. ErrollDoes this answer mean that the Post Office are using the local authorities to do their work for them, and that the licence is refused if the motorist has not replied to the two additional questions?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI have stated the situation in my answer, and I must point out that no one likes asking questions of this kind. The best way to make these questions unnecessary is for what the Post Office estimated as one third of the people who had these cars last year to pay their proper dues.
§ Mr. ErrollWill my right hon. Friend put in another question asking people whether they have paid their garage rent.
