HC Deb 12 February 1951 vol 484 cc17-8W
121. Mr. Profumo

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the increasing congestion of traffic in big, cities, he will consider restricting the instruction of learner drivers, in both public and private vehicles, in the densest areas during peak periods of travel.

Mr. Barnes

I am not aware of any powers under which a restriction of the kind suggested could be imposed and I do not think I would be justified in seeking such powers.
