HC Deb 31 October 1956 vol 558 c159W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the numbers of driving licences which have been temporarily or permanently revoked for the latest available year ; and what proportion of these was due to drunken driving.

Mr. Watkinson

21,262 holders of driving licences were disqualified during 1954 by the courts in England and Wales. 2,723, or just over 12½ per cent., of these were disqualified following on a conviction for driving or being in charge of a motor vehicle while under the influence of drink or drugs. Comparable figures for Scotland are not available.
