Mr. Andy StewartTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to introduce a super test for drunk-drivers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyNo. We are drawing up plans for a more demanding driving test to be taken by drivers convicted of and disqualified for serious bad driving offences. As explained in the Government's recent. White Paper "The Road User and the Law", Cm. 576 this test will not, in the first instance, be taken by most drink drive offenders who are more likely to benefit from the rehabilitation courses also envisaged in the White Paper.
