HC Deb 27 July 1972 vol 841 c384W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy with regard to the European Economic Community's proposals on tests for drivers of heavy goods vehicles; how these proposals will affect British drivers of such vehicles; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

A draft directive about the extent of training necessary to enable drivers under 21 to drive heavy goods vehicles is under consideration. After consultation with the interests involved, I shall be seeking formal consultations with the Community.
