HC Deb 16 December 1946 vol 431 c317W
82. Mr. Hare

asked the Minister of Transport why it is necessary for applicants for a B or C licence to forward registration books showing that their vehicle or vehicles are taxed, since until the application is agreed to these vehicles cannot be used for a commercial purpose.

Mr. Barnes

Licensing authorities are not concerned with questions of vehicle taxation but the scrutiny of the Registration Books often discloses errors in applications and facilitates the issue of the appropriate licence under the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933.
