HC Deb 03 June 1964 vol 695 c171W
61. Mr. Thorpe

asked the Minister of Transport to which countries recognition of current driving licences is accorded by his Department in the United Kingdom without the necessity for further testing.

Mr. Galbraith

For temporary visitors recognition is accorded to foreign driving licences or international driving permits issued by any other country. Persons who enter this country to become residents must, however, hold British driving licences. In these cases the statutory need for a driving test is not removed by the holding of a foreign licence.
