HC Deb 08 April 1941 vol 370 cc1430-1W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Postmaster-General the method adopted by his Department for following up failures to renew wireless licences when no response is given to the annual reminder sent out by the district office; and what check there is on the district office efforts to ensure against continual evasion of payment?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

If the renewal notice, which is despatched to the licensee near the end of the month in which the licence expires, does not result in a renewal of the licence or notification that the wireless apparatus has been dismantled, reminders are sent, followed if necessary by personal inquiry. Continued failure of payment results in the prosecution of the offender. This work, like the other work done in head post offices, is checked by systematic inspection of the records and arrangements.
