HC Deb 17 May 1965 vol 712 cc174-5W
Sir M. Galpern

asked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to make the 14 days of grace period statutory, so that no action can be taken against a motorist who uses his car during this period without a current road fund licence, provided he renews it within14 days of the expiry of the last licence.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. I know of no case where proceedings have been taken against a motorist who has renewed within 14 days of the expiry of a previous licence, and I therefore see no reason for legislation for the purpose suggested.
