Mr. SWANasked the Postmaster-I General if he is aware of the inconvenience caused to the people of Ferry-hill, County Durham, who have motors and desire to renew the motor licence, through having to go to the taxation department, Durham city; is he aware that there are over 100 motorists at. Ferryhill and that they find difficulty in having to go backward and forward to Durham: and could it be arranged so that the necessary I forms and licence could be got through the Ferryhill post office?
Mr. NEALI have been asked to answer this question. The necessary forms of declaration for motor licences can be obtained at the Ferryhill post office, and the licences obtained on application being made by post to the Taxation Department, Durham. Licences can also be obtained at Spennymoor post office. It is not practicable to arrange for licences to be issued at all the smaller post offices.
