HC Deb 03 July 1957 vol 572 c120W
89. Lady Tweedsmuir

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will now reintroduce the regulation that learner drivers must always be accompanied by a qualified driver, as this rule was abandoned during petrol rationing, and ensure greater road safety.

Mr. Watkinson

I intend to reintroduce this requirement from 1st October this year. Holders of provisional licences who have not yet applied for a test are advised to do so without delay.
