§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether he is aware that, since the abolition of reminders for the renewal of motor-car driving licences, local taxation officers are finding that holders of licences are much behindhand in renewing, and there is a consequent loss to the revenue; will he have inquiries made, and if necessary, authorise the issue of reminder postcards as before?
§ Colonel LlewellinAs a result of inquiries made it does not appear that the loss of revenue owing to the delay in renewal of licences is substantial. The discontinuance of reminders has resulted in a definite saving in labour and paper and for these reasons their re-instation during the war cannot, I fear, be justified.
