§ Mr. Bishopasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to amend the Vehicle and Driving Licences Act, 1969, and similar legislation so as not to require applicants for driving licences and licence holders to divulge their age or date of birth to licensing authorities or to the police.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsThe only purpose of requiring the date of birth is to help distinguish between people of the same name in the records of the driver licensing system.
