HC Deb 08 April 1974 vol 872 c33W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will review the present arrangements for authorising disabled persons to drive, particularly the amendment to Regulation 8, whereby medical practitioners are asked to provide a certificate of competence.

Mr. Carmichael

Applications for licences for disabled drivers are always treated as sympathetically as possible. The recent amendment to regulations to which the hon. Member refers does not have the effect which he implies.
