§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Transport whether postal officials driving post office vans on the streets are exempted, if they are beginners, from carrying L plates; and whether they are passed out by the Ministry officials or by the General Post Office instructors?
§ Mr. Burgin:Postal officials who hold provisional licences and have not passed the driving test are not exempted from carrying L plates. The Postmaster-General has authority to conduct tests of persons in the Service of the Crown under that Department and in practice all such postal officials who drive the Department's vehicles are examined by G.P.O. instructors.
