HC Deb 24 February 1967 vol 741 c352W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Minister of Transport if she will introduce a compulsory examination as a recognised qualification for driving instructors.

Mr. John Morris

The Road Traffic (Driving Instruction) Bill, introduced by my hon. Friend the Member for Morpeth (Mr. Will Owen), provides for the compulsory registration of driving instructors, who must first pass a qualifying examination. As my right hon. Friend said in a reply to a Question on 15th February by the hon. and gallant Member for Eye (Sir H. Harrison) we warmly welcome this Bill.—[Vol. 741, c.115.]
