§ 74. Sir G. STRICKLANDasked the Minister of Transport when information may be given to this House as to the progress of the consideration promised last year to the necessity for examination or other methods for discriminating what physical or other disabilities should bar the possession of a driver's licence?
§ Colonel ASHLEYMy proposals for dealing with applicants for drivers' licences who suffer from physical dilsabilities are contained in Clauses 14 and 15 of the draft Road Traffic Bill which I circulated a short time ago.
Viscountess ASTORMay I ask whether the proposals of the right hon. Gentleman lay it down that they shall be total abstainers?
§ Colonel ASHLEYIf the Noble Lady will read Clauses 14 and 15 she will see that the answer is in the negative.
Viscountess ASTORConsidering the number of accidents which occur from people taking a little too much, will the right hon. Gentleman consider this question seriously?
