HC Deb 06 July 1966 vol 731 c71W
69. Sir C. Taylor

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the fact that it is not clear in law whether two endorsements of a driving licence ordered by a magistrate for the same offence count as one or two under the law which specifies a withdrawal of the driving licence after three endorsements, she will introduce amending legislation to clarify the position.

Mr. John Morris

Only one endorsement is possible for one offence. If, however, the hon. Member is referring to the question of what constitutes the occasion of a conviction for totting-up purposes under Section 5(3) of the 1962 Road Traffic Act, my right hon. Friend will bear in mind the possibility of clarifying the position when the law is next revised.
