HC Deb 15 October 1952 vol 505 c22W
77. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Transport what is the cost of sending out annual reminders when driving licences are renewable; and approximately how many people are employed in this task.

Mr. Braithwaite

The issue of these reminders is incidental to the work of the staffs of local authorities engaged in collecting motor tax and issuing driving licences. I should not be justified in asking all the taxation authorities to undertake an estimate of the proportion of the time of the officers concerned in providing this useful service.
