HC Deb 15 December 1965 vol 722 c273W
88. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Post master-General what steps he proposes to take to avoid the loss of £8,000,000 a year in television and radio licences, and thus to avoid a further increase in licence fees; and if he will seek to require shops to ask to see a licence receipt when selling a set.

Mr. Benn

Inquiries of households not recorded as licensed with be intensified, and the number of detector cars is being increased from nine to eighteen. I am also studying various ways in which dealers might be able to help.
