asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many hire cars and private cars, respectively, registered in Southern Ireland, entered Northern Ireland for the first time in each of the months in the period commencing on 1st January and ending 20th September, 1966.

Mr. Diamond

The only figures available are for hire vehicles driven by residents of the United Kingdom (other than Northern Ireland) and for other private vehicles. Those for hire vehicles relate to first importation by each new hirer. I hose for private vehicles relate to first entry or renewal of an annual permit. They are:
