HC Deb 18 July 1967 vol 750 cc218-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Power whether he will arrange that, in the event of petrol rationing, ration books will only be issued to those persons who can produce log books showing that their vehicles were licensed for the quarterly period immediately prior to the introduction of petrol rationing or to show some certified documentary evidence that the vehicle was not being used without a current road fund licence prior to the announcement of petrol rationing.

Mr. Marsh

Not all vehicle registration books now afford proof that a vehicle is currently licensed. For this reason, in the event of petrol rationing, applications for ration books will be required to complete a declaration that their vehicles are currently licensed. It will be an offence under the Bill to make a false statement.
