HC Deb 07 April 1976 vol 909 c171W
62. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider reducing the proposed 2,250 per cent. increase in a driving instructor's provisional licence and other related increases.

Mr. Marks

We have proposed that the fee for a trainee's licence should be increased from £1 to £15, and the period for which it may be held reduced from six to four months, in order to curtail the casual element in the profession. The present fees need raising in total to reflect increases in costs since they were prescribed.
