HC Deb 25 February 1966 vol 725 cc165-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the loss of revenue to the Treasury each year by the evasion of the road fund licence; and, as a means of preventing this, if he will in his forthcoming Budget introduce a system whereby the police can, in addition to taking legal action against offenders, receive a 5 per cent. notification and service fee of all licence moneys received from successful prosecutions, such fee being charged against the tax evader.

Mr. MacDermot

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion.
