§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Postmaster-General why a normal radio licence covers all sets in the home including portables which can be carried in cars, but does not include those fixed in a vehicle.
§ Mr. Edward ShortBecause for licensing purposes the location of the portable set is the home where it is ordinarily kept, while that of the vehicle-set is the vehicle in which it is installed.
