§ Mr. Callaghanasked the Minister of Transport if he will estimate the number of dormant A or B licences for which no corresponding vehicles exist.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydDefinite information is not available, but it is thought that the number of such licences is negligible. If the holder of a licence ceases to own any vehicles specified on it he is under obligation to notify the licensing authority who then deletes the vehicle from the licence. Also, should a licensing authority become aware that a vehicle has ceased to be used under a licence for any reason other than a fluctuation in business he may remove the vehicle from the licence. A licence which has become non-effective during its currency must be surrendered for cancellation.
