Mr Archibald Manuel: The hon. Gentleman will be aware from the figures which we were given a few weeks ago that there were 40,000 prosecutions for the evasion of tax in the Greater London Council area. Surely that proves that there is widespread evasion.

Orders of the Day — Vehicle and Driving Licences Bill: Continuous Liaibility for Vehicle Excise Duty (24 Feb 1969)

Mr Archibald Manuel: Would the hon. Gentleman agree that it will not be nonsense once the Bill becomes law? The Parliamentary Secretary has explained that these other cases, which the hon.

Orders of the Day — Vehicle and Driving Licences Bill: Continuous Liaibility for Vehicle Excise Duty (24 Feb 1969)

Mr Archibald Manuel: Is not "keeper" a safer word? Many cars are bought on hire purchase. Finance houses are the owners because they advance the money and collect the contributions.
