HC Deb 05 December 1939 vol 355 c465W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that London taximeter-cab owner-drivers will not be able to secure petrol ration books for January, 1940, unless and until the taximeter-cabs are fully taxed; that these owner-drivers will therefore be unable to enjoy the 14 days grace allowed in the taking of other motor vehicles; and whether he proposes to take any action to remove the grievance arising from this discrimination?

Mr. Lloyd

Arrangements have already been made with the Commissioner of Police by which ration books for taxicabs for the month of January will be issued in advance of the application for a renewal of the licence.
