On the transfer of licences to companies, section 15 deals with the circumstances in which a licence can be transferred following the death of the holder. The Minister of State may not be in favour of it but what is the position with regard to inheritance? If a father and son are operating a taxi company together and if the father, who owns the licence, wants to retire, he is not entitled to transfer that licence to his son. Perhaps the Minister of State might comment on this matter.
