HC Deb 08 March 1927 vol 203 c1057W
Sir T. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Transport what was the total sum received from all motor-vehicles' licences during January and February, 1926; and what was the total sum received from all motor-vehicles' licences during January and February, 1927?

Colonel ASHLEY

The returns for February, 1927, are not quite complete, but the comparative receipts (including duties on horse-drawn vehicles and fees for driver's licences) are approximately as follows:—

8th December to end of February, 1926 £11,807,000
8th December to end of February, 1927 £14,174,000

Receipts in the latter half of December are almost entirely in respect of the following year's licences.
