HC Deb 20 January 1954 vol 522 cc1003-4
41. Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation by what authority application forms for a road fund licence inquire whether a vehicle is fitted with a radio set

Mr. Molson

The authority for this is Section 9 (1) of the Vehicles (Excise) Act, 1949.

Mr. H. Hynd

Will the Minister carry this suggestion a little further, as has already been proposed to him, and embody in the road licence an indication whether the vehicle is fitted with a wireless set and that it has been licensed?

Mr. Molson

I will certainly consider that point.

Mr. Erroll

Could the Minister not arrange for a combined licence to be issued and so relieve the purchaser of additional trouble?
