LICENCES
BROADCASTING RECEIVING LICENCES
Licences may be obtained from all post offices at a charge of $20.00 per annum.
One licence covers any number of sets in a single household; but lodgers, paying guests and occupiers of flats (even if not self-contained), count as separate householders and require separate licences.
Separate licences are necessary for wireless receivers fitted in motor-cars, yachts and motor launches.
A Rediffusion subscriber who also possesses a wireless receiver must obtain a broadcast receiving licence from the Post Office.
One household or car radio licence also entitles the licensee to operate one portable receiver. If no household or car radio licence is held however, a separate licence is required for a portable radio.
PERIOD OF VALIDITY

An initial licence is valid for twelve months from the date of issue. A renewal licence covers a full period of twelve months from the date on which the previous licence expires.
REFUNDS cannot be made for part usage of boardcast receiving licences.
