HC Deb 27 June 1951 vol 489 c144W
69. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport how long it takes to get an exemption from road fund licence for a farm tractor.

Mr. Barnes

The recent increase in the licence duty for agricultural tractors led to an abnormal number of applications for exemptions, and for a time this resulted in some delay which was overtaken before the end of last month. It is not practicable to give a useful figure of the average time normally taken. This depends on the circumstances of the particular case and the time required by the local authority to examine it.
