HC Deb 24 November 1978 vol 958 c784W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why he proposes to retain a fee for vehicle registration after vehicle excise duty has been abolished; and how much he expects it to be.

Mr. Horam

The fee would be to cover administrative expenses, but this is a matter for further consideration.

Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many staff will be retained for vehicle registration after vehicle excise duty is abolished.

Mr. Horam

On present estimates, rather more than 3,000 on all vehicle work.
