§ Mr. Ernest Daviesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to state the annual cost of administering the licensing system for goods vehicles under the provisions of the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933; and how much of this amount is applicable to C licences.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe total cost is in the region of £600,000. It is estimated that some £150,000 of this is attributable to the issue of C licences.
§ Mr. Ernest Daviesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how much he estimates would be saved in a full year if C licences were not required for good vehicles weighing less than two tons unladen which are now subject to them.
§ Mr. WatkinsonNothing, since the revenue from these licences more than covers the expenditure falling on my Departmental Votes.
