§ Mr. PORRITTasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the penalties imposed upon motorists possessing time-expired driving licences, and the important conditions attached by insurance companies to the policies they issue, he will consider the desirability of making arrangements for licences issued at any time in a current year automatically to expire on 1st January following, so that in time all driving licences will be renewable on that date?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI am informed that it is not the practice of insurance companies that policies of insurance cease to have effect on the expiry of a driving licence, and therefore the second part of the question does not arise.
