HC Deb 05 March 1925 vol 181 c682W
Mr. S. MITCHELL

asked the Minister of Transport if he will introduce legislation which will compel all applicants desirous of obtaining a licence to drive motor vehicles to produce a medical certificate as to their mental and physical fitness before such licence is granted?

Colonel ASHLEY

I am disposed to agree with the conclusion reached by the Departmental Committee on the Taxation and Regulation of Road Vehicles, as set out in their Second Interim Report, that the difficulties in giving effect to the suggestion contained in my hon. Friend's question render its adoption impracticable.
