HC Deb 08 March 1927 vol 203 c1034
41. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he could arrange for driving licences to be taken out on 1st January every year?

Colonel ASHLEY

I cannot see my way to introduce legislation to put this suggestion into effect. The existing system has the advantage of spreading the work of issue over the whole year.

Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Is not my right hon. Friend aware that even Members of this House sometimes happen to forget the date at which they should take out their licences?

Mr. MARCH

They have to pay for forgetting.

Mr. W. THORNE

They forget their promises as well!
