HC Deb 04 November 1937 vol 328 c1156W
Mr. Maxwell

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the recent legal decision that Ford utility cars must be licensed as commercial vehicles and thereby limited to a speed of 30 miles per hour, he will consider refunding the extra licence which has been paid on them up till now as private vehicles?
