Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the number of drivers entitled to drive class 1 and class 2 heavy goods vehicles whose licences have been issued since 1991. [34811]

Mr. Norris

As explained in my reply of 17 June,Official Report, column 339, the terms class 1 and class 2 heavy goods vehicle are no longer used. The total number of large goods vehicle licences issued since 1991 is 1,019,355. Information on the number of drivers to whom these licences have been issued is not readily available.
