§ Sir W. Robson Brownasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give figures showing over the last five years how many private car owner-drivers have had three or more endorsements on their driving licences for drunkenness and dangerous driving, respectively; and if he will give the same information in respect of drivers of commercial vehicles.
§ Mr. George ThomasI regret that this information is not available.
During 1964, 3,631 persons were disqualified under Section 5(3), and 531 under Section 5(4), of the Road Traffic 206W Act, 1962. It is not possible to say how many of these persons owned private motor vehicles, or in how many cases offences of dangerous driving, or of driving or attempting to drive, or being in charge of a vehicle, while under the influence of drink or drugs, were committed.
