§ 5. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will take powers to establish a recognised instructor's certificate to be issued to persons requiring them and make it a necessary qualification for the opening of driving schools.
§ Mr. NugentAs my right hon. Friend indicated in the Answer he gave to a similar Question by the hon. Member for Hillsborough (Mr. G. Darling) on 17th July, we propose to review the whole question of the standards of driving tuition when we receive a report on driving standards from the Departmental Committee on Road Safety.
§ Mr. AwberyIs the hon. Gentleman aware that it is possible for a man to fail his test on several occasions and then pass, and a day or two after passing the examination he is able to open a driving school? Does he not think that a man should have more training than that before being able to open a driving school?
§ Mr. NugentThat is one of the aspects that we are considering. One must also remember that parents often give instruction to their children when they start driving, and we do not want to interfere too much with domestic habits of that kind.
