§ Sir R. Russellasked the Minister of Transport what steps are being taken to obtain the agreement of the Governments of Greece, Spain and Sweden to recognition of British driving licences for touring purposes.
Mr. Bob BrownNone at present, because British drivers can readily obtain the necessary international driving permit. But I will consider with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the possibility of obtaining recognition of our national licence by Greece and Spain.
Sweden accepts British licences. I regret the omission of Sweden from the list of countries given in the answer to the hon. Member on 29th April, 1969.—[Vol. 782, c. 215–16.]
