§ Mr. J. O'NEILLasked the Minister of Transport if he will, in view of the increase of motor-car accidents in the streets directly due to bad driving, set up an advisory board, to work in conjunction with the Automobile Association, to restrict the granting of driving licences to persons first proved by the police test fit 1529W to drive a car, thereby putting so-called owner drivers in the same position as taxicab drivers?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI am not prepared to agree that there is any appreciable increase in the number of motor-car accidents which can be attributed directly to bad driving. On the question of tests for drivers of motor vehicles, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 5th March to the hon. Member for East Bristol (Mr. Baker), a copy of which I am sending him.
