HC Deb 24 March 1952 vol 498 c6W
Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give an assurance that the driving tests imposed before a licence, P.S.V., is issued, qualifying a man to drive a public passenger vehicle, where charges for transport are made, ensure a higher standard of driving than those imposed to obtain a licence to drive a private car.

Mr. Maclay

A proper standard of competence is required in each case. It is not practicable to lay down comparative standards.
