§ Mr. REMERasked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been called to the loss incurred by motor auctioneers in cases where stolen cars owned under the hire-purchase system and subsequently found to be covered by a bill of sale are submitted for auction; and if he can take steps to see that motor registration books under such circumstances are endorsed as to the exact ownership?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONA motor vehicle is registered and licensed in the name of the person keeping and using it, who may or may not be the legal owner. I cannot see my way to require the name of the legal owner to be endorsed on the registration book, as this would involve investigation of questions of title by the registration authorities.
