Major Braithwaiteasked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to enable the grant of a restricted licence for the duration of the war for youths of 16 to 21 years of age who are driving tractors, to enable them to take their tractors from the farms to the fields in which they are operating?
§ Sir J. ReithI do not think it would be in the public interest to allow tractors to be driven on roads by youths under 17, after which age they can already drive in the conditions indicated in the Question.
