HC Deb 06 November 1974 vol 880 c143W
40. Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the latest estimated saving in staff and annual financial saving in administration if vehicle excise duty licences for private vehicles were to be abolished.

Mr. Mulley

When vehicle licensing is fully centralised, there would be a saving of about 3,000 staff and of about £12 million a year.
