HC Deb 25 January 1977 vol 924 c581W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the cost to public funds of the Traffic Commissioners.

Mr. William Rodgers

The costs of the Traffic Commissioners and their staff are recovered from the licensing fees. Current fee levels meet the whole of this cost, thus avoiding any burden on public funds, and in addition contribute to working off an earlier deficit.
