25. Lieut.-Colonel SANDEMAN ALLENasked the Minister of Transport whether, in the case of a motorist, first licensed in May, 1934, and therefore liable to test, who applies for a renewal of his licence but has been unable to arrange or obtain an appointment with the appropriate examiner, his licence will be renewed and a test subsequently arranged; or whether the renewal will be held up pending the test, to the detriment of his business or professional activities?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAWhen sub section (1) of Section 6 of the Road Traffic Act, 1934, is brought into full operation the driver referred to by the hon. and gallant Member will not be able to renew his licence until he has passed the test. He can, however, apply now to be submitted to a test and there is therefore no reason why he should experience delay in obtaining a further licence.
