§ 54. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport how many enforcement officers whose salaries are met by his Department are employed in the Greater London Council area on road fund enforcement duties; whether he is satisfied that there are enough such enforcement officers to carry out the increasing work involved in taking action against road tax evaders; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CarmichaelThe staff employed by the Greater London Council for this purpose consists of 29 inquiry officers and an office staff of 127. I understand that the council is reviewing the present complement. It will no doubt propose an increase if it thinks it necessary.
