§ Mr. RADFORDasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that many of the recent accidents to motor chars-a-banc and other passenger-carrying vehicles, involving death and injury to passengers, could have been prevented if the drivers concerned had been more expert; and whether he will take the necessary steps to render it illegal for any person to drive a passenger-carrying motor vehicle unless he or she has previously passed a driving test, such, for example, as that which has to be passed by the drivers of omnibuses in the Metropolitan area?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI hope that general powers of the nature indicated in the second part of the question, as regards the licensing of drivers of public service vehicles, will be included in the Road Vehicles Bill which the Government propose to introduce as soon as possible.
