HC Deb 02 July 1975 vol 894 cc480-1W
55. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce legislation to make it an offence for a motor vehicle to be driven on the highway carrying a learner's plate when a learner driver is not at the wheel.

Dr. Gilbert

I deprecate the practice but do not think that legislation would be justified. I am, instead, proposing to include advice on the subject in the new Highway Code.
