HC Deb 05 February 1981 vol 998 cc164-5W
31. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he proposes to require payment of a licence fee in respect of motor car radios.

Mr. Mayhew

The working party on the administration of the broadcasting receiving licence system, on which the Home Office, the Post Office and the BBC are represented, is considering methods of payment of the licence fee and whether the base of the licensing system might be expanded, including the possibility of reintroducing car radio licences. My right hon. Friend expects to receive its report shortly and will carefully consider its recommendations before taking any decisions.
