HC Deb 11 November 1968 vol 773 cc28-9
42. Mr. Harry Howarth

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for amending the law to allow a driving licence to be issued in suitable cases to persons with epilepsy who are certified by a doctor to have been free of any attack for at least three years.

Mr. Bob Brown

My right hon. Friend hopes to introduce the necessary legislative changes this Session.

Mr. Howarth

While thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I point out that it will give complete satisfaction to a great number of people who have been restricted from obtaining licences for so long?
