§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 27 January,Official Report, column 27, for what reasons he does not collect figures for the number of objections received in the renewal of goods vehicle operator licences.
§ Mr. KeyThe Department collects figures for the number of objections to all types of applications and these are held on computer. It would be possible to collate the information for the number of objections to renewals of goods vehicle operator licences received but for 1991–92 and 1992–93 that could be done only at disproportionate cost. This is because a special computer programme would be needed to extract the necessary information.
